Sorry, I cannot really help you about this point, I imagine that you can do that with python, but until now I did all my postprocessing and displays with matlab and I am not the good person to give advice about python. However, as you said, you can plot a map of force intensity, but this map will give you only a first qualitative view of the problem. If you want to have a quantitative measure, you need for instance to compute, the porosity, the contact density, or the mean force value with respect to the depth in the sample. If for example, the centre of the sample is looser than the rest of the sample you will see that the contact density or the mean force values are lower in the centre of the sample. You can find details in the phd thesis of Gael Combe here: http://pagesperso-orange.fr/gael.combe/these.pdf But it is in french (sorry I don't know reference about that in english, or italian...)
