Luc Scholtès proposed the following answer: Hello, You can choose either option in the jcfpm model. Just change the boolean smoothJoint from True to False: https://yade- dem.org/doc/yade.wrapper.html?highlight=smoothjoint#yade.wrapper.Law2_ScGeom_JCFpmPhys_JointedCohesiveFrictionalPM.smoothJoint if smothJoint=False: regular contacts geometry and mechanical properties (you can modify the properties as you want, e.g., isCohesive=0, FnMax=FsMAx=0). if smoothJoint=True: the contact geometry will be modified according to the fracture plane and the properties modified according to the joint properties of the JCFPMmat, i.e., jointNormalStiffness, jointShearStiffness, jointFrictionAngle, jointTensileStrength, jointCohesion (you might have errors/strange behaviors if you don't define those since their default values are 0). The identification of the contacts and particles along the pre-existing crack/fracture is done when you type execfile('identifBis.py'). After that, just loop over the particles and interactions and check their status: those which are along the fracture plane will be identified as onJoint: for particles: https://yade-dem.org/doc/yade.wrapper.html?highlight=onjoint#yade.wrapper.JCFpmState.onJoint for interactions: https://yade-dem.org/doc/yade.wrapper.html?highlight=onjoint#yade.wrapper.JCFpmPhys.isOnJoint Luc -- 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
