Question #203385 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/203385
Status: Answered => Open Manu is still having a problem: HI Jan Thank you for the feedback. I am actually interested in exporting the particles to ABAQUS, so that I can understand the deformation and non-linear behaviour of the particles (metal powder) during compaction. If you can guide me to what command I can use, that would be of great help.
