Hi, I use below an example to detail my question:
As written in the mail below there is a nice documentation about how a triaxial test is performed to current SVN trunk (in pkg/dem/PreProcessor/TriaxialTest.hpp). But in this file is described how the code runs but the background (equations) is not explained, for instance how the displacement of a wall is computed with respect to the current grain-wall forces (if there is a stress control). Can we find somewhere information about the background, for instance for this particular point, or any other points ? I know that it is not an easy task to build a documentation, so my question is not to ask you to make a documentation. It is just to know whether I have to take time to read the whole code or whether there is a quicker way to know exactly what is computed by the code ?

It hasn't changed much since time I wrote about lack of docs, but Janek starts his 2-year postdoc in Grenoble now and he will (I hope) produce some documentation. For triaxial tests specifically, it is Bruno who wrote the triaxial test classes and recently he commited nice documentation on that to current SVN trunk (in pkg/dem/PreProcessor/TriaxialTest.hpp). I am modifying TriaxialCompressionEngine now to make it a finite automaton, since I will use it, too; but that is probably different story. Before you start to read Bruno's comments on triax, make sure you understand how Yade works: every iteration is loop over "engines" that operate on bodies in different ways.
