Yes, you need to set IsDynamic=false and move them elsewhere.

If, you have problems with the scaling factor (thikness of branches in the network), activate/desactivate the "interaction_wire" option; it will set the scaling to a value more relevant for your simulation. > > > Kien Dang > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Yade-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/yade-users > -- _______________ Chareyre Bruno Maitre de conference Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble Laboratoire 3S (Soils Solids Structures) - bureau E145 BP 53 - 38041, Grenoble cedex 9 - France Tél : 33 4 56 52 86 21 Fax : 33 4 76 82 70 43 ________________ _______________________________________________ Yade-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/yade-users
