Set the value of clump attributes. This command is a synonym for the
clump initialize
command. Individual attributes can be listed with theclump list
command and all attributes can be visualized.Note
- Modification of the clump geometry will fail if the resulting clump would not fall entirely within the model domain.
- Clump attributes are characteristics of the clumps such as position or size. These are distinct from clump properties (assigned with the
clump property
command) that are surface properties of the clumps that are used to fill contact model properties.
- displacement v
Accumulated clump displacement vector as a result of cycling.
- displacement-x f
The \(x\)-component of the accumulated clump displacement as a result of cycling.
- displacement-y f
The \(y\)-component of accumulated displacement as a result of cycling.
- displacement-z f (3D ONLY)
The \(z\)-component of accumulated displacement as a result of cycling.
- euler-x f (3D ONLY)
The \(x\)-euler angle (in degrees) of the current clump orientation. See the euler keyword for further details.

- moi-11 f
11 component of the clump real moment of inertia. When modified, only the clump principal moments of inertia are modified and the other clump attributes are not changed (e.g., volume, pebble sizes). The specification of the clump principal moments of inertia via the command line or via FISH results in the principal moments of inertia being in a fixed state so that they will not be automatically updated when scaling a clump, changing the volume, or changing the density. The fix state can be modified in FISH (see the
clump.moi.fix
intrinsic).
- moi-12 f
12 component of the clump real moment of inertia. When modified, only the clump principal moments of inertia are modified and the other clump attributes are not changed (e.g., volume, pebble sizes). The specification of the clump principal moments of inertia via the command line or via FISH results in the principal moments of inertia being in a fixed state so that they will not be automatically updated when scaling a clump, changing the volume, or changing the density. The fix state can be modified in FISH (see the
clump.moi.fix
intrinsic).
- moi-13 f
13 component of the clump real moment of inertia. When modified, only the clump principal moments of inertia are modified and the other clump attributes are not changed (e.g., volume, pebble sizes). The specification of the clump principal moments of inertia via the command line or via FISH results in the principal moments of inertia being in a fixed state so that they will not be automatically updated when scaling a clump, changing the volume, or changing the density. The fix state can be modified in FISH (see the
clump.moi.fix
intrinsic).
- moi-22 f
22 component of the clump real moment of inertia. When modified, only the clump principal moments of inertia are modified and the other clump attributes are not changed (e.g., volume, pebble sizes). The specification of the clump principal moments of inertia via the command line or via FISH results in the principal moments of inertia being in a fixed state so that they will not be automatically updated when scaling a clump, changing the volume, or changing the density. The fix state can be modified in FISH (see the
clump.moi.fix
intrinsic).
- moi-23 f
23 component of the clump real moment of inertia. When modified, only the clump principal moments of inertia are modified and the other clump attributes are not changed (e.g., volume, pebble sizes). The specification of the clump principal moments of inertia via the command line or via FISH results in the principal moments of inertia being in a fixed state so that they will not be automatically updated when scaling a clump, changing the volume, or changing the density. The fix state can be modified in FISH (see the
clump.moi.fix
intrinsic).
- moi-33 f
33 component of the clump real moment of inertia. When modified, only the clump principal moments of inertia are modified and the other clump attributes are not changed (e.g., volume, pebble sizes). The specification of the clump principal moments of inertia via the command line or via FISH results in the principal moments of inertia being in a fixed state so that they will not be automatically updated when scaling a clump, changing the volume, or changing the density. The fix state can be modified in FISH (see the

intrinsic).
- moi-principal fprin11 fprin22 fprin33 (3D ONLY)
Real principal moments of inertia. When modified, only the clump principal moments of inertia are modified and the other clump attributes are not changed (e.g., volume, pebble sizes). The specification of the clump principal moments of inertia via the command line or via FISH results in the principal moments of inertia being in a fixed state so that they will not be automatically updated when scaling a clump, changing the volume, or changing the density. The fix state can be modified in FISH (see the
clump.moi.fix
intrinsic).
- moment-applied-x f (3D ONLY)

The \(z\)-component of the moment applied to clumps.
- moment-contact fx fy fz (y- and z- components are 3D ONLY)
Sum of the contact moments accumulated to the clumps during the previous force-displacement update. This value will be modified during the next force-displacement update.

- volume f
Clump volume. When modified, only the clump mass and real mass are modified and the other clump attributes based on volume are not changed (e.g., moment of inertia, pebble sizes). The specification of the volume via the command line or via FISH results in the principal moments of inertia being in a fixed state so that they will not be automatically updated when scaling a clump, changing the volume, or changing the density. The fixity state of the inertia can be modified in FISH (see the
