dear sir!
when I update the software, the warning as following:

W:The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/yade-users/external/ubuntu xenial 
Release' does not have a Release file., W:Data from such a repository can't be 
authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use., W:See 
apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details., 
E:Failed to fetch

  404  Not Found, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been 
ignored, or old ones used instead.

what's the problem of this and how to solve it?
 
thanks~

[Yade-users] [Question #622060]: a problem about vtk

2017-04-17 Thread xjin
New question #622060 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/622060

I am trying to run a packing model,and try to use TriaxialTest() to obtain the 
strain-changing-field. I write the script following the example: 
tesselationWrapper.py .

My specific script is like tihs:
-
O.reset()
O.bodies.append(geom.facetBox((.5,.5,.5),(.5,.5,.5),wallMask=63))
from yade import pack
sp=pack.SpherePack()
sp.makeCloud((0,0,0),(1,1,1),rMean=0.02, rRelFuzz=0.1)
sp.toSimulation()
O.engines=[
   ForceResetter(),
   InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb(),Bo1_Facet_Aabb()]),
   InteractionLoop(
  [Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_L3Geom(),Ig2_Facet_Sphere_L3Geom()],
  [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys()],
  [Law2_L3Geom_FrictPhys_ElPerfPl()]
   ),
   NewtonIntegrator(gravity=(0,0,-9.81),damping=0.4),
   
]
O.dt=0.05*PWaveTimeStep()
O.run(5)

TW=TesselationWrapper()
TW.triangulate()
TW.computeVolumes()
TW.volume(20)
TW.setState(0)
O.run(10,True)
TW.setState(1)
TW.defToVtk("strain.vtk")
-
when I run the script, the result is:
-
Triangulated Grains : 7432
sym_grad_u_total_g (wrong averaged strain):
0 0 -1.0106e-17 
0 0 -1.0839e-17 
-1.0106e-17 -1.0839e-17 -7.99784e-17 

Total volume = 0.87657, grad_u = 
0 0 0 
0 0 0 
-2.0212e-17 -2.16781e-17 -7.99784e-17 

sym_grad_u (true average strain): 
0 0 -1.0106e-17 
0 0 -1.0839e-17 
-1.0106e-17 -1.0839e-17 -7.99784e-17 

Macro strain : 
0 0 0 
0 0 0 
0 0 0 

Cannot open file [strain.vtk]
-
Can someone help me? For I am new to YADE,I cannot understand the meaning of 
the result.
Thanks very much

Re: [Yade-users] [Question #615092]: getCapillaryStress

2017-04-17 Thread Jérôme Duriez
Question #615092 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/615092

Status: Open => Answered

Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hi,

I did not completely understand your concern, but here are few points:

In "wet simulations" you should get the equality total stress = contact stress 
+ capillary stress, where:
- the total stress are measured from the boundaries, e.g. using triaxial engines
- the contact stress is the stress contribution from ("dry") contact forces = 
getStress()
- the capillary stress is the stress contribution from capillary forces = 
getCapillaryStress()

As an *important* note, the two get*Stress() functions require the
sample volume to be passed as an argument, with getStress having a more
user friendly default behavior (picking a correct value if the user
forgets to pass one) in this regard, though

If you do not get this equality, it means you're not using correctly the
functions, or your simulation is not quasi-static.


If your concern is that you have very low capillary stress, the answer is still 
the same as in previous questions: you have too big particles (for classical 
surface tension values). Play with small particle sizes, as unsaturated 
experimentalists consider fine soils and not gravel.

If you wish, you may actually also try to construct the Soil Water
Characteristic Curve of your numerical sample (in this pendular regime)
to check if you have "significant" capillary pressure * saturation
product values. If not, it means again your particle sizes are too big.

Jerome

Re: [Yade-users] [Question #620981]: record deformed shape in cohesive triaxil test

Question #620981 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/620981

Status: Open => Answered

Robert Caulk proposed the following answer:
Hello,

Are you asking us about how to record the strain of a specimen being
triaxially compressed by TriaxialStressController() [1]?

If your TriaxialStressController is labeled "triax":

e11, e22, e33 = triax.strain[0], triax.strain[1], triax.strain[2]

If you are more interested in the physical dimensions of the sample,
rather than the strain:

width, depth, height = triax.width, triax.depth, triax.height
