Status: Open => Answered Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer: Hello, Please do not mix 2 questions into 1. Some remarks considering your second one: DEM is a simulation method being dynamic by nature (Cundall & Strack, 1979). As such, having a stable structure at every moment (i.e. a quasistatic evolution) requires extra care from the user. If you're compressing an initial cloud with very few particles, it's probably even more difficult to ensure permanent quasi-staticity and "smooth" macro-curves: - going from a cloud to a solid-like packing is a quite dramatic process between two very different states - with very few particles, macro-curves can certainly be much more affected by discrete events on 1 or 2 (or ..) particles -- 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
