Luc Scholtès posted a new comment: To Bruno, Not sure about your comments... 1 - I vae never used the bodiesHandling function, but, If the rotation occurs before the beginning of the simulation (when the packing is loaded into the simulation, the "DEM loop" has not started yet), there should not be any inherited contact forces, no? 2 - I had a second look at the 3DCompressionEngine. As I said, it is adapted to do what I want (loading the sample in the 3 principal direction). However, in its current version, you cannot perform automatically the transition from isotropic to deviatoric compression as with the classic TriaxialCompressionEngine. You need to define a periodic function to check for the state of the simulation to do so (unless I am wrong?). For now, I have added few lines to the TriaxialCompressionEngine in order to allow for choosing the direction of straining in the deviatoric part of the loading path. Doing so, I just need to specify the translationAxis in my script. If you think that this feature could interest, I can upload the source file.
