2017-08-22 Meeting notes

• readFromRestartFile and initialiseFromRestart, latter doesn't change the name and resets file counter; link in documentation
  Error rendering macro 'jira' : Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.

• Thomas Weinhart fix Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.

Should the reader be patented?

To be discussed with Ant or Thomas; let's keep silent about it

• Thomas: New codes for Silo, Vertical/Horizontal Mixer; issues
  • Silo includes use of InsertionBoundary that could be made general (fixed inflow rate; maybe deletion of insertion upon completion? maybe completely general inflow with lambda for generateParticle, and for inflow rate? but not restartable).
  • Also new contact model for HertzMindlinRollingTorsion (todo: change HertzianViscoelastic to Hertz, LinearViscoelastic to Linear, SlidingFriction to Sliding, Friction to SlidingRollingTorsion?)
  • Can parallel handle simple periodic boundaries?
  • Merged/will merge some of these features to the Alpha
• Irana: removed static file-counter in ParticleVtkWriter; this requires making write unconst (todo for walls; can we keep const somehow? unsigned& count?)
• Thomas: new CG can now handle periodic boundaries
• Irana: Work on Bidisperse chutes
• Bert committed some stl stuff
• Marnix: bug fixes parallel, new shear measure in cg
• Ant: notes for merging

• make separate class for Wall/Interaction VTK writer. Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.
• Thomas Weinhart add CG kinetic correction.

I now fully understand the problem create the git-svn bridge for MercuryDPM. It is commit 709 and 710. In these commits we changed the naming convention from trunk->Trunk alpha->Alpha etc.

Now git svn clone can not follow the moving of existing branch. It simple was not designed to do this.

Conclusion:

• Only git the trunk,
• Alpha/Release/.. will be accessible only via svn,
• Trunk commits only via git, via push-requests (to be confirmed by Irana, Anthony or Thomas)
• Branches on central server

• Irana Denissen: Write documentation how to git.
• Thomas Weinhart: Move Silo Trunk->Alpha, ask Anthony Thornton for Bookkeeping
