yes, I am not updated on the topic. You're helping me to get back on track. I'm sorry if that is disturbing for you ;) Please call me Janek btw, because there's another Jan around here. In the other email I was trying to find that plastic part and compare with that other (trapezoidal) approach, but I didn't finish that today. Thank you for the attached .pdfs. -- Janek Kozicki http://janek.kozicki.pl/ | _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
