Hi,
1) and 2) can work if you have only very small deformations. If the 
deformations are larger, the "boundary" particles you find in the initial state 
may not be at the boundary all along the simulation, they will be replaced by 
others which will soon be ejected from the problem if they don't get the 
"boundary force" they should.
A clean solution is to have an updated mesh of the contour (a concave hull) and 
to update the forces on the boundary particles continuously. It is not 
implemented as is but algorithmic blocks which can be used to get concave hull 
are present in the code.

Re: [Yade-users] [Question #580450]: Applying differents force values

Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hi Felipe,
thanks for the complete scripts. I have tried them and did not find anything 
wrong. Just to summarize:

> I have found divergences when i have apply the force on the surface and then 
> I read the value that i recorded.
> When I read the force, I noticed that the applied values were different from 
> 200.

it is simply because read force and applied force are intrinsically
different values, see my previous comments (you don't read the applied
(=prescribed)  force, you read total force applied on the body
(=prescribed force+forces from interactions)

> is it the correct way to apply the force on the surface? How can i be
sure that i really applied the force value on the surface?

yes, it is the correct way. You can be sure because you used the command
:-) You can also use O.forces.permF(someId) to check if a perment force
is set on body with id=someId (you can use this command to get
prescribed force and save it, maybe this is what you wanted from the
ForceRecorder?).

cheers
Jan

Dear all,
 I want to extract some 2D sections from 3D DEM model. The section is 
like this https://www.dropbox.com/s/x3vr2vgxpq8eyhb/1.jpg?dl=0
 
 Anyone could provide help in this question or are there some examples?

Question #586294 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/586294

Gary Pekmezi posted a new comment:
Thank you for your suggestion Bruno.

I currently need to run small deformation simulations, however I may
need to simulate larger deformations in later and either way the
"concave hull" approach seems like it would be more robust. So I'd like
to inquire about the "algorithmic blocks" you reference.

My initial idea for the hull is as follows. Perhaps I periodically call
TesselationWrapper to mesh the domain then traverse the exterior of it
to find the boundary. Then I suppose I  can apply a force directly on
the particle. By the way, I am not familiar with ServoPIDController,
might it be a better way to apply force on the boundary particles than
setPermF?

Thanks,
Gary

[Yade-users] [Question #590359]: Error running with Capillary Example

2017-03-24 Thread Hien Nguyen
New question #590359 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/590359

Hi all,

Good to return to Yade after two years.

I'm running Linux Mint 17 64bit
I'm trying to reuse the Capillary Test Example given here:

https://yade-dem.org/wiki/CapillaryTriaxialTest
https://github.com/yade/trunk/tree/master/examples/capillaryLaplaceYoung

I installed Yade by: sudo apt-get install yade, the version turns out to be 1.07

The problem I got is I cannot start the test from the example code mentioned 
above. Yade gives me the "Segmentation fault" error message, and quit 
immediately.

Hope someone can help me about this.

Hien.

Status: Open => Answered

Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Re-hi Hien, and welcome back to YADE,

I still do not know which python script (from
examples/capillaryLaplaceYoung folder) you tried ;-) but Yade 1.07 seems
to me way too old to work with the current capillary files.

To be sure, ask for "CapillaryPhys().dict()" (I hope to avoid any typo
here, as I'm currently on Windows) in your YADE terminal to check all
possible attributes of this class in your version. If "nn11" [*] is not
present, it confirms your Yade version is too old (or your capillary
files too recent) for things to work.

(To be precise, your capillary C++ code is probably unable to deal with
the recently added data in capillary files, such as this nn11)

You're right I think.

Here is the output of CapillaryPhys().dict()
{'Delta1': 0.0,

 'capillaryPressure': 0.0,
 'fCap': Vector3(0,0,0),
 'fusionNumber': 0,

 'tangensOfFrictionAngle': nan,
 'vMeniscus': 0.0}

The script I used in the example folder is CapillaryPhys-example.py,
appology for not mentioned it before.

So what version you advise me to use? I'll consider the compile version
of YADE.

So yes, you have to update.

Any version more recent than October 2016 would be fine: current "trunk"
compiled from source is obviously fine, and packaged yade-daily is
probably OK as well
