Question #295035 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/295035
Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer: Regarding my remark about tensile regime, fragile is indeed True by default so there is no issue for you if you keep this default behavior. (The choice setting fragile = false allows to simulate a plastic threshold---instead of a fragile failure..--- in the tensile regime: the normal force stays equal to the tensile strength while the interparticle distance keeps to increase, without the interaction fails. For such behavior, updating unp is required for the Fn formula being consistent in case the interparticle distance subsequently decreases, which would be an elastic unloading) -- You received this question notification because your team yade-users is an answer contact for Yade. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
