You (not PFC at this point) are defining the effective radius in the wrong way. And well, to my opinion _hn (and _hs) should NOT be user defined as their values are well established by Hertz (and Mindlin) theory itself. Please input the same constant coefficients that you find in Yade if you still aim at making a meaningful comparison. You can get them like:
O.interactions[0,1].phys.kno O.interactions[0,1].phys.kso Those should be equal to your PFC variable _hn and _hs respectively. Please, close this bug if you find the same results. You should always check that the formulations you are comparing are the same before going any deeper.

There I found a different behavior between these two programs. I dont know if this is a bug or not, but I hope someone can explain the different behavior. The model itself is very simple. There are two spheres, an upper one and a lower one. The lower one is fixed and the upper one is falling down to the lower one, collides and jumps back. The value of interest is the flyback height of the upper particle. In PFC I measure higher values of flyback height, then in YADE (see log-files in the attachment). Can someone tell me why there is a difference in the flyback height? (input parameters are the same for both programs ... see caller_two-spheres-jumping.dat for PFC and two-spheres.py for YADE) Regards, Christian Jakob To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/yade/+bug/806944/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
