Hi Jan:
I'm sorry I didn't make my question clear.   My question is as follows:

1. How to select particles representing soft rock (different thickness
and dip angle).

2.About changing the material, can i use the following method:

sofeMat=O.materials.append(JCFpmMat())
hardMat=O.materials.append(JCFpmMat())

pred=pack.inCylinder()
sp=pack.randomDensePack(pred,...)
sp.toSimulation()

'select the soft rock particles'

for i in 'softrock':
   O.bodies[i].mat.cohesion=softMat.cohesion
   


Thanks 

changdong Liu

Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hello,

a general approach:
- create "uniform" cylinder
- select "different" (harder or softer) particles
- change their material

> But i do not know how to do that

To get more detailed answer, please read [1] and provide more detailed
information what is the actual problem - what you do not know (already
creating the cylinder? selecting particles? changing material? ... ?),
if you already tried something etc.

Cheers
Jan

Status: Open => Needs information

Jan Stránský requested more information:
Hello,

> I'm a new user in Yade

welcome :-)

please read [1] and provide more information about your problem and simulation:
- what is "time-dependent behavior or creep analysis or aging"? "just" 
dynamics? Short-time viscosity? long-term aging of concrete? ... ?
- what is "single grain"? single physical real grain? single Yade particle?
- behavior between ... grains - single grains? grains? more information needed 
:-)

> Is there a contact model to know the time-dependent behavior

again, more information is needed.
Generally speaking, any Yade contact model describes time-dependent behavior.

Re: [Yade-users] [Question #697550]: Coefficient of friction between two different materials

2021-06-15 Thread Jan Stránský
Question #697550 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/697550

Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hello,

> I am new to DEM simulations

welcome :-)

> which values does yade take

generally speaking, it may be different for different materials,
different contact laws etc.

General "philosophy":
- Material (e.g. FrictMat) stores properties of material = material properties 
of particle
- IPhys stores properties of interaction = material properties of interaction
- Ip2 defines, how IPhys properties are computed from Material
See [1] for more information.

Note that "material properties of particle" and "material properties of 
interaction" may be (usually are not, but may be) very different things.
E.g. for FrictMat and FrictPhys:
- FrictMat has frictionAngle property
- FrictPhys has tangensOfFrictionAngle property
- Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys has frictAngle property


For the case of FrictMat and Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys, by default
Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys() # no arguments
takes a minimum value of the two friction angles.

However, you can define a MatchMaker [2] to fit your needs and e.g. take 
average or maximum value:
Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys( frictAngle=MatchMaker(...) )


To get this information, you can:
- read documentation [3]
- build a simple scene (1 sphere, 1 wall, 1 predefined contact) and test 
yourself
- ask a question here
- read source code [4]

Roughly ordered by preference, but it may differ.
E.g. for beginners, it is ok to ask very basic things here before they learn 
how to use and search documentation.
Advanced users / developers may prefer reading source code.

Cheers
Jan

Hi I am new to DEM simulations

In FrictMat() we define friction angle for let says a sphere and some different 
material is assigned for the wall which values does yade take when calculating 
friction forces between wall and spheres

2021-06-15 Thread Du Zhang
New question #697548 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/697548

Dear all users,

I'm a new user in Yade. I would like to simulate the time-dependent behavior or 
creep analysis or aging of single grain in Yade. Is there a contact model to 
know the time-dependent behavior between contact grains for non-cohesive or 
cohesive materials?

Thank you so much for your help.

Hi everyone:

I want to creat a model with hard and soft interlayer like paper [1] Fig 4 . 
But i do not know how to do that. Can someone help me solve this problem.

Re: [Yade-users] [Question #697313]: Facing problem in stabilizing the DEM simulation sample when using Hertz-mindlin contact model

https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/697313

Status: Expired => Open

Sarath Chandra Reddy is still having a problem:
Thank you Jan for the reply. 
>please be more specific [1]. Do you get errors? Does it take too much time? 
>The target cannot be reached? ... ?

I am not getting any error but the unbalanced force and mean stress are
not reaching equilibrium even after long time (say even after few days).

>when I am using Hertz-mindlin contact model - with other model(s) it is
ok or not? (like why you mention explicitly "using Hertz-Mindlin
model").

I think this especially when I am using Hertz-Mindlin model as I only
changed small things in original code of Dr.Bruno (mainly about the
contact model).

Please give your advice/suggestions on any measures to be taken to
attain stability quickly.

best wishes
Sarath
