Hi, First, I am discovering Yade, so I think I will have a lot of questions...
By looking the structure of the file called scene.xml (created, for instance, by the generator TriaxialTest), I understand that in the same file are defined the media (the bodies, here spheres) with the geometrical and physical (or mechanical) properties and the simulation that we want to perform (with is specific parameters). My problem is the following one: a given simulation is linked here to a given media, so can we do different simulations from a unique given media ? I give an example here after based on a triaxial test: I perform an isotropic compression, after I stop the simulation and save the result. I don't go further because I want to do different things with this consolidated granular assembly. Then I want to do a compression and an extension both from the state of the media after the isotropic compression. So I perform a first simulation (the compression) by using the consolidated granular assembly (the result saved), then I perform a second simulation (the extension) by using the consolidated granular assembly (always the same result saved). I imagine that I cannot do that with Yade since the kind of simulation is saved in the scene.xml file and reused (here the simulation "isotropic compression" is saved and reused whereas I want to perform a "compression" or an "extension"). Am I right ? What would be the different steps (in few words) to perform the simulations described above?
