Hi

I am trying to understand basic behaviour of unsaturated soils. For my 
simulations i am using triaxial stress controller. But for my analysis i am 
first generating a packing with zero suction at a desired porosity and then i 
am using the saved packing and introducing a suction value for my further 
studies. I just want to know whether my approach is right or not.

Here are my scripts:

young_modulus=5e6
friction        = 0.6

#creating a material (FrictMat):

O.materials.append(FrictMat(young=young_modulus,poisson=0.5,frictionAngle=0,density=0,label='walls'))

#generate boundary:

wallIds=O.bodies.append(walls)

#generate particles:

sp.makeCloud(mn,mx,rMean=.0012, seed=1)
O.bodies.append([sphere(c,r,material='spheres') for c,r in sp])
