Force Chain Finder #116

Open Nimajhi opened 4 months ago

Nimajhi commented 4 months ago

I want to suggest that since PhasicFlow already performs particle collision calculations, it would be a valuable enhancement to add Force Chain Finder to the program. This can be achieved by introducing an option to store detailed particle-particle collision information. By capturing and storing data on each collision, including the forces involved and the contact points, the software could then analyze and visualize force chains within the particle system.

In version 1.x, we can add this option to caseSetup/interaction, so that when this is activated, the program stores the force chain and saves it to the disk.
