that is the point, currently there is none..
Use an approximation of cylinder made of facets or boxes (for facets there is 
facetCylinder function [2])

Thank you, Jan!
That solved my problem.

I'll post what I have tried and why/how it went wrong. 
This time I just use
O.bodies.append(Cylinder(length=1, radius=1))
I didn't figure out what type does the Cylinder class have.

I want to make a penetration test, and I want a cylinder shaped rod to
do this.

Here's another question, I want to apply gravity to this cylinder and
have contact with spheres, what kind of IGeomFunctor and LawFunctor
should I use? Now the current script is as followed. The cylinder just
disappeared at the beginning of the simulation.

from yade import pack

O.bodies.append(geom.facetBox((.5,.5,.5),(.5,.5,.5),wallMask=31))

rod=Body()
rod.shape=Cylinder()
rod.shape.length=.5
rod.shape.radius=.2
rod.state.pos=(.5,.5,1.8)
O.bodies.append(rod)

sp=pack.SpherePack()
sp.makeCloud((0,0,0),(1,1,1),rMean=.05,rRelFuzz=.3)
sp.toSimulation()

O.engines=[
ForceResetter(),

InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb(),Bo1_Cylinder_Aabb(),Bo1_Facet_Aabb()]),
InteractionLoop(

[Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_ScGeom(),Ig2_Facet_Sphere_ScGeom(),Ig2_Sphere_ChainedCylinder_CylScGeom()],
[Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys()],

[Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack(),Law2_CylScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack()]
),
# update position using Newton's equations
NewtonIntegrator(gravity=(0,0,-9.81),damping=0.4),
# call the checkUnbalanced function (defined below) every 2 seconds
PyRunner(command='checkUnbalanced()',realPeriod=2),
]
O.dt=.2*PWaveTimeStep()

def checkUnbalanced():
if O.forces.f(rod.id)[2]==0: return
ball.state.blockedDOFs='xyXYZ'
ball.state.vel=(0,0,2)
if unbalancedForce()<.05:
O.pause()

O.saveTmp()

Thanks!

use box [1]

> I tried couple of times, I can't create a body shaped as a cylinder by
this class.

next time please post also what you have tried and why/how it went wrong.
E.g. you can try something like:
###
b=Body()
b.shape=Cylinder()
b.shape.length=1
b.shape.radius=1
O.bodies.append(b)
###

What do you want to do with the cylinder? just that Yade currently
(AFAIK) is not able to work reasonably with "pure" cylinders..

By "not round cylinder" I mean not the cylinder for yade.gridpfacet module, I 
see from the yade book that there is a class yade.wrapper.Cylinder. However, I 
tried couple of times, I can't create a body shaped as a cylinder by this class.

Thanks.

Robert Caulk requested more information:
Hello,

Welcome to yade :-)

I think you will need to be a bit more specific. Are you trying to
create a prism to fill with spheres? Or body shaped as a prism?

Same question with the cylinder. Except what exactly is a "not round
cylinder"?

Cheers,

Robert

[Yade-users] [Question #688156]: How to create a regular prism in Yade

2020-01-21 Thread Huang peilun
New question #688156 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/688156

Hi, I just begin to learn Yade.

I'm wondering if there is a function or method to create a regular prism 
without calculate the coordinates of each vertexes by myself.
And if there is a method to create a cylinder(not a round cylinder).

Thanks in advance.
