Presently, I am very 'lost'... I have just started DEM. YADE is my first DEM
software. I've just started my Phd and the topic is open (cuz i'm not doing
sth on a funded project)... In fact, i've not decided what project to do yet.
i have to consider also the 'technical' difficulties when deciding a topic.
The community is my only source of help. Some things are v difficult and may
have to be abandoned, e.g. the algorithm to generate rock blocks from joint
planes (like 3Dec, not PFC).
I was looking at ellipsoids..On google, found these websites:
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/miscellaneous/implicitsurf/
http://www.frank-buss.de/lisp/polygonizer.html
When I come to think of it (still thinking), if i use some weird shapes to do
simulation, and do some experimental calibration = PhD dissertation? I think
i'll have to finalize what i'll be doing for my phd soon <headache>...
Yours,
CWBoon

Could you not explain in generally, what do you want to
simulate?______________________________

Thank you, Janek. May I know where can I find the marching cube algorithm in
YADE? And how is it used? I'm really curious (one reason is i've spent days
looking for the marching cube algorithm). Although I'm still a novice, but I
hope soon, I'll be a 'pro'. If I am able to think of a shape that can be
specified by an equation, and marching cube is available, it will save me a lot
of trouble thinking of how to plot it. Thanks~
Really grateful,
CW Boon
