2017-08-22 Meeting notes

• readFromRestartFile and initialiseFromRestart, latter doesn't change the name and resets file counter; link in documentation

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.
  Error rendering macro 'jira' : 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
