Thank you for the hint, Anton. I divided kn with the mass of the balls and the result is the same as in pfc.

There I found a different behavior between these two programs. I dont know if this is a bug or not, but I hope someone can explain the different behavior. The model itself is very simple. There are two spheres, an upper one and a lower one. The lower one is fixed and the upper one is falling down to the lower one, collides and jumps back. The value of interest is the flyback height of the upper particle. In PFC I measure higher values of flyback height, then in YADE (see log-files in the attachment). Can someone tell me why there is a difference in the flyback height? (input parameters are the same for both programs ... see caller_two-spheres-jumping.dat for PFC and two-spheres.py for YADE) Regards, Christian Jakob To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/yade/+bug/806944/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev Post to : yade-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
