True! A newcomer would be quite disappointed to know what he really needs for his purpose among all the variables. But, anyway, I did not run away from YADE and I have tried to follow your advices concerning the "new way of thinking" Constitutive Laws in Yade (thank you Yade-Wiki). I spent some times on the RockPM and ConcretePM and I think I get the idea.
However, I am still used to the "old fashionned way" of thinking with preprocessor etc (actually, I try to get involved in YADE-Python programming ;-) ), and I do not really get the connexion with all the other engines. So, it would be somehow very helpful if one of you could provide some more informations on how to use these new laws (maybe with a typical functional xml file or even a python script). For instance, I'm gonna try to customize the interaction physics or/and interaction geometry to include some additional informations like, for example, the possible belonging of a particle to a fault and the corresponding plane orientation. Once more, thanks a lot in advance for all of your advices Cheers 2009/10/7 Václav Šmilauer <[email protected]> > > The CohesiveFrictional contact law is very general, it includes normal, >> shear, bending, and torsion components (bending and torsion are purely >> elastic for now, it is no big deal to add a threshold for failure).
