Question #695154 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/695154
Jan Stránský proposed the following answer: Hello, I can confirm this problem. The contact normal together with contact force magnitude might be the source of the problem (I was not solving the problem, just detecting it). Apart from Bruno's option, have a try potential blocks [1]. It models the same shape, but different contact logic. The results seems more "natural" for these cases. Have look at the testing code below. Disclainmer: I have ever used potential blocks for this testing script only :-) it was some time ago for my colleague playing with polyhedrons, running into the same problems you describe. cheers Jan [1] http://yade-dem.org/doc/potentialparticles.html ### O.engines=[ ForceResetter(), InsertionSortCollider([PotentialBlock2AABB()]), InteractionLoop( [Ig2_PB_PB_ScGeom(unitWidth2D=1.0, calContactArea=True)], [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_KnKsPBPhys(kn_i=1e8, ks_i=1e7, Knormal=1e8, Kshear=1e7, viscousDamping=0.2)], [Law2_SCG_KnKsPBPhys_KnKsPBLaw(label='law', neverErase=False, allowViscousAttraction=False)] ), NewtonIntegrator(damping=0.2, exactAsphericalRot=True), PotentialBlockVTKRecorder(fileName='/tmp/pb', iterPeriod=50, sampleX=60, sampleY=60, sampleZ=60, label='vtkRecorder') ] def cube(pos,size): ret = Body() r = .5*size a = [1,-1,0,0,0,0] b = [0,0,1,-1,0,0] c = [0,0,0,0,1,-1] d = [.5*size-r for _ in range(6)] minmaxAabb = 1.05*Vector3( d[0], d[2], d[4] ) ret.shape=PotentialBlock(r=r, R=0.0, a=a, b=b, c=c, d=d, id=len(O.bodies)) utils._commonBodySetup(ret,ret.shape.volume,ret.shape.inertia,material=-1,pos=pos) ret.state.ori = ret.shape.orientation return ret b1 = cube((0,0,0),1) b2 = cube((2,0,0),1) O.bodies.append((b1,b2)) b1.state.vel = (1,0,0) b1.state.angVel = (0,0,2) O.dt = 1e-3 O.run(3000,True) ### -- 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 : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
