I changed material to "CohFrictMat" and also ip functor to " Ip2_CohFrictMat_CohFrictMat_CohFrictPhys" and the contact law to "Law2_ScGeom6D_CohFrictPhys_CohesionMoment". After starting a simulation I got this error: from this Python object of type Boost.Python.class > I looked at launchpad to get an idea about this error but I cannot find the solution. Do you know what is a problem with "IPhysFunctor" mentioned in error?

Question #257388 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/257388 Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer: >CohFrictPhys_CohesionMoment (this law is quite similar, "mine" has the extra feature of normal inelasticity) For the sake of accuracy: I would say that "NormalInelasticity" is quite similar to a very old version of "CohesionMoment", maybe. Just have a look at the respective cpp files now and how many lines of real code they have. There is bunch of things not implemented in the former: elastic energy, creep, irreversible rolling moment, torsional stiffness, assigning adhesion on the fly... I would not recommend NormalInelasticity unless normal inelasticity is explicitely needed. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of yade-users, which is an answer contact for Yade. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Question #257388 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/257388 Status: Open => Answered Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer: Hi, I used / wrote (at a time copy-paste improvements were not strictly banned) Law2_ScGeom6D_NormalInelasticityPhys_NormalInelasticity for the work presented mainly in [Duriez2011] (see https://yade- dem.org/doc/publications.html#journal-articles). And you have other parameters than E, Phi, BetaR, to play with to calibrate your model. As presented in the article and somehow in the doc, this law includes 6 local parameters. One is in fact unfortunately hardcoded in the source code (etaR = 1, which controls the moment threshold and also the peak strength if I remember well). I have to confess some improvements could surely be done to this years old code (and unfortunately I won't do it myself in a not far future). You have the wiki page https://www.yade-dem.org/wiki/ConstitutiveLaws, the doc of different related classes, the paper and my answers to enjoy as possible this contact law. Switching to another one with moment transfer law - if needed - such as Law2_ScGeom6D_CohFrictPhys_CohesionMoment (this law is quite similar, "mine" has the extra feature of normal inelasticity) would also be a possibility in the end. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of yade-users, which is an answer contact for Yade. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Question #257388 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/257388 Status: Answered => Open M.Meidani is still having a problem: Thanks for your prompt responses. @Bruno After creating the first pack(Nc=3.92), I run direct shear test model with different values of E,Phi and BetaR. Results showed that the pack behaves as a loose sand, but experimental result shows that it is a dense sand. So I tried to create a second pack and it was Nc=4.96. This pack behaves similar to dense sand but it was not match with experimental one (slope of the line and peak value were checked). So again I tried different values of those three parameters to calibrate my model. But with E=100Mpa it was still not good. So I think that may be I should make the pack denser. But maximum value that I could reach is 5.32. This pack behaves better than previous ones with the same values of E,Phi and BetaR. What is the other parameter that have an effect on the results? P.S. : Yes, after creating each pack I calculated Nc with utils.plotDirections() @Luc I want to simulate sand. So I think using spheres is better than clumps as you mentioned that is good for rocks. I used "Law2_ScGeom6D_NormalInelasticityPhys_NormalInelasticity" as a contact law. I tried to calibrate the model and find micro values of E,Phi. So I want to match the result of simulation with experimental to find these values. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of yade-users, which is an answer contact for Yade. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Do you guys have results about that? Yes, I see, that the difference between 100% spheres and 100% clumps (two spherical members) is not much (around +0.1 ... +0.2). On one hand there are more contacts, but on the other hand the porosity is higher and hence less contacts. A denser packing can be achieved by using lower friction while consolidation. Also using more members per clump will lead to more contacts, but I did notdo this, yet. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of yade-users, which is an answer contact for Yade. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Question #257388 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/257388 Luc Scholtès posted a new comment: I would just add that, as Bruno said, Nc>5 is not possible with DEM using SPHERICAL particles. However, it is conceivable by using non spherical particles (e.g clumps or polyhedra) as it is sometimes done for modelling rocks. An alternative for that is to allow near neighbour contacts (contact between non overlapping particles) using the aabbEnlargeFactor and interactionDetectionFactor. It is working pretty well as shown in [1]. The questions now are more about what mterial do you want to simulate? Rock? Soil? And also why are you saying that there is a mismatch between simulations and experiments? This could also be due to an inappropriate contact law...
