# Problem Definition
|
||||
The problem is to simulate a double pedestal tote blender with the diameter **0.03 m** and **0.1 m** respectively, the length **0.3 m**, rotating at **28 rpm**. This blender is filled with **20000** Particles. The timestep for integration is **0.00001 s**. There is one type of Particle in this blender that are being inserted during simulation to fill the blender.
|
||||
* **20000** particles with **4 mm** diameter, at the rate of 20000 particles/s for 1 sec. َAfter settling particles, this blender starts to rotate at t=**1s**.

There is one type of Particle in this blender that are being inserted during simulation to fill the blender.
|

* **24000** particles with **5 mm** diameter, at the rate of 24000 particles/s for 1 sec. َAfter settling particles, this blender starts to rotate at t=**1s**. For better and faster performace in simulations where the number of particles is very large, the format of the files is saved as **ASCII**.

## Defining particles
|
||||
Then in the `caseSetup/sphereShape` the diameter and the material name of the particles are defined.
|
||||
```C++
|
||||
// names of shapes
|
||||
// name of shapes
|
||||
names (sphere1);
|
||||
|

// diameter of shapes (m)

|

## Particle Insertion
|
||||
In this case we have a region for ordering particles. These particles are placed in this blender. For example the script for the inserted particles is shown below.

## Interaction between particles

In `caseSetup/interaction` file, material names and properties and interaction parameters are defined: interaction between the particles of rotating drum. Since we are defining 1 material for simulation, the interaction matrix is 1x1 (interactions are symetric).
