What you say should be preferred for granular materials, that is right and was never contested. Obviously, for continuum discretization the inverse is preferrable and Yade should make both of them possible. (I know you don't like continuum mechanics, but please keep this emotion (I don't see any explanation for that) away from this discussion, it is as legitimate as anything else.)

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
