salutations once again :)

I have continued considering my problem, and have another question..

this should be easy in yade, but I can't spot the easy solution that must be 
there.  I have beads in a container.  I want to model their friction against 
it's walls.  I can get the friction of the beads themselves by measuring the 
angle of internal friction.  assuming I know the poissons ratio and young's 
modulus,  I am set.  but for the walls, it is a different story.  is there no 
way to simply specify the coefficients of static and kinetic friction of the 
wall material?  or do I have to measure the angle of internal friction of beads 
made with the same material?  also, how do I take into account that the 
coefficients of friction between, say, glass and teflon, teflon and teflon, and 
glass and glass, are all different, for both the cases of static and kinetic 
friction?

I feel i'm pushing it a bit, but these also seem valid questions when it is 
taken into account that this program operates at timesteps of e-6 seconds, and 
therefore necessarilly takes into account a great deel of physics.

        ok.. this is interesting..  what is a flag? would I find
that in the programmers manual?

        
      
    
  



It is just a "bool" in most cases. ;-)

You add it to a class to switch between different behaviours, for
instance.

We also tend to call class members "attributes" these days (python
influence).
