geometric distance (radius1+radius2) should be preferred, definitely. InitialEquilibrium distance is only creating strange effects (i.e. loose and re-create the same contact and you get different initial value, meaning you gain or loose volume or mass). For continuum-discrete approaches, I understand some need that, but for real granular materials it makes non sense.

Status in Yet Another Dynamic Engine: In Progress Bug description: Seems that there is too much friction with the walls, but inspecting the XML file gives nothing suspicious. UnbalancedForce sits constantly at 1.1407 after a small while, without going down. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
