Question #668213 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/668213
Status: Open => Answered Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer: Hi, Honestly I did not go in details through your whole post :-) but I'd still make the following comments 1- I think you could consider that in YADE / DEM, properties for a single entity (a Discrete Element) do not exist outside mass and inertia. Then, the question is more about : are the soil-container contact properties really different from the soil-soil ones ? And if yes, does it really matter to define one external layer of interactions (the soil-container one) that has very different properties than all other interactions in the bulk ? 2- Checking the shape of interacting bodies can be done in the source code of one single Ip2 if you need to. You got one example at [*] 3- Are you then interested in shear stress (original post) or normal force and normal stress (post #2) ? 4- I still think material flowing outside a experimental or numerical device is a problem :-) If I understood correctly, I would just extend my plates if I were you (you may give a look to SimpleShear FileGenerator from YADE graphical user interface) Jérôme [*] https://github.com/yade/trunk/blob/4167bd08a304167375ac38bca441aa30e8d4d673/pkg/dem/Law2_ScGeom_CapillaryPhys_Capillarity.cpp#L101 to L103 -- 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
