Klaus Thoeni proposed the following answer:
Hi Seti,

CohFrictMat is derived from FrictMat, i.e., it is also a FrictMat. If
you need rolling resistance you can use CohFrictMat without cohesion:

O.materials.append(CohFrictMat(alphaKr=1.7,young=30e6,poisson=0.4,density=2600,frictionAngle=radians(36.5),momentRotationLaw=True,etaRoll=.4,label='spheres'))

By not specifying cohesion the default values are used [1].

[Yade-users] [Question #650740]: How to apply force on a certain area normally and at an angle?

2017-07-20 Thread Hashir Ahmad
New question #650740 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/650740

I have a rectangular box of particles and I have to apply a certain force on 
the top on a given area.
I don't know how to do it in the engine loop. This is my code for the geometry:

sp = SpherePack()
pred = pack.inAlignedBox((0,0,0),(3.5,2,2))
sp = pack.randomDensePack(pred, spheresInCell=100, radius=3.5e-2, 
rRelFuzz=0.5/1.5, returnSpherePack=False)
O.bodies.append(sp)
O.dt=0.0001
O.engines=[

[Yade-users] [Question #650560]: micro parameters of Frictional material

2017-07-20 Thread Seti
New question #650560 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/650560

Hi all,


How I can add rolling stiffness coefficient and plastic moment limit 
coefficient to frictional material property: it seams  "alphaKr" and "etaRoll"  
just have been defined for CohFrictMat not FrictMat .

e.g. 
O.materials.append(CohFrictMat(alphaKr=1.7,young=30e6,poisson=0.4,density=2600,frictionAngle=radians(36.5),normalCohesion=1.3e6,shearCohesion=1e6,momentRotationLaw=True,etaRoll=.4,label='spheres'))

How I can see these parameters in frictional material since, to me are not just 
related to cohesive materials.

Thanks 
Seti

Question #650554 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/650554

Jan Stránský posted a new comment:
randomDensePack has two "modes"

1) (without spheresInCell)
generates randomly all needed spheres compress them around predicate and crop 
them.
For small number of particles it works ok, but for increasing number it take 
more and more time and becomes practically impossible to use. I would not like 
to use it for 500k particles :-)

2) spheresInCell = someValue
uses just relatively few particles (someValue).
Compress this limited number using periodic contact detection resulting in a 
periodic cube
the resulting compressed packing is periodic, if you copy it by one period to 
any (axis) direction, the pieces fit together
copy such periodic cube wherever necessary to fill the predicate, and crop to 
final shape
So it uses (almost) the same time for any predicate size

cheers
Jan

Question #650554 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/650554

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
spheresInCell parameter (despite its name) is irrelevant here (I can elaborate 
more if you are interested).
What is important is absolute number of particles in the simulation, which is 
given ba particle radius and predicate size.

the window shadows for the time needed for rendering the scene, which is not 
negligible for this amount of particles

It recovers in my case as well.

But when I play around with spheresInCell, radius or dimension of the 
predicates, I get an error:
"Unable to shring cell due to maximum body size"

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Thanks,
I think it has nothing to do with randomDensePack, but again with number of 
particles. Around 500k particles is relatively high number. In my case, e.g. 
when I rotate the view, the window "shadows", but after a while it turns OK 
again.
Does it recover also in your case, or does it freeze forever?
