Hi,

I want to model a single footing lying on a discrete element domain. The
surface dimension of the soil domain is larger than than dimension of
the footing.



                   Distributed load     
                       |   |   |    |   |   |    |    
                       |   |   |    |   |   |    |          
                       v~v~v~v~v~v~v
      ---------------------------------------------- (ground level)




    =========================== (rigid boundary)                                
                                     
      |<----------------- nxe ----------------->|


I don't know if we can simulate the loading condition like this in YADE.
I thought about simulating the footing by a wall with finite dimension
or by a plate made of spheres bouding together, but I am not sure these
can work.


I hope  you can help me with this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Viet
