Hi,

I want to model a sand with Hertz-Mindlin-Contact law and rolling friction.

1. Is it possible to do so in yade and if yes, how?

I tried to combine a material with rolling stiffness and hertz model:

...
#define material:
id_SphereMat=O.materials.append(CohFrictMat(young=young_modulus,poisson=poisson_ratio,density=rho_p,frictionAngle=angle,alphaKr=roll_stiff))
...
        InteractionLoop(
                ...
                [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_MindlinCapillaryPhys()],
                [Law2_ScGeom_MindlinPhys_Mindlin()]
                ),
...

but this seems to have no effect on behavior of the particles.

2. What would be a good value for lets say a well rounded sand? Has anyone 
experience with rolling stiffness?

Thanks in advance,

Christian
