Hi all,

just wondering if it could be possible to do a triaxial test without any 
confinement (like a uniaxial compression)? I know that a dedicated engine 
already exists, but I would like to access the same data as the one recorded by 
the triaxial engine. Moreover, from my experience, the boundary conditions are 
not exactly consistent between those two tests (loading through a rigid wall 
for triaxial and loading through the boundary particles for uniaxial) and it 
can be problematic when you want to characterize an assembly in both unconfined 
and confined conditions.
I already tried to run a triaxial without confinement but, due to the state 
transition condition (unbalanced force), the deviatoric loading never occurs. 
Would there be a way to bypass this?

Thanks for your help

  Luc
