New question #694208 on Yade: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/694208
Hi all, I'm simulating the CPT tests. I use the geom.facetCylinder and geom.facetCone commands to generate the penetrator. the code shows below: ############################################################# x0=0.2;y0=0.2;z0=0.39665 cylinderIDS= O.bodies.append(geom.facetCylinder((x0,y0,0.35665), radius=0.0125,height=0.15,orientation=Quaternion((1, 0, 0), 0),wallMask=5,segmentsNumber=10, angleRange=None,material=facetMat)) coneIDS= O.bodies.append(geom.facetCone((x0,y0,0.270825), radiusTop=0.0125,radiusBottom=0.0,height=0.02165,orientation=Quaternion((1, 0, 0), 0),wallMask=6,segmentsNumber=10, angleRange=None,material=facetMat)) ####################################### I did two tests. one is 10 segments number, another one is 50 segments number for the cylinder and cone. ############################### for the 10 segments case: the simulation runs without particles blowing up. while for the 50 segments case, the particles blowing up after the penetrator touches the sample surface. ######################################### These two simulations are exactly the same except for the segment number. for these two cases, I set the same timestep. ####################################################### GlobalStiffnessTimeStepper(active=1,timeStepUpdateInterval=10,timestepSafetyCoefficient=0.8), ################### ################### I think the particles blowing up may result from the time step. Do you have any advice?
