Question #180578 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/180578
jduriez proposed the following answer: "dynamic" or "fixed" concern both the way changes in position of bodies (i.e. velocities) are handled by YADE. - either velocities of bodies are updated according to sum of forces and newton's law : this concerns what was called previously "dynamic" bodies (for which dynamic = true) - or velocities of bodies are considered to be constant (equal to an initial value set up by the user), whatever the sum of forces. Useful for boundaries bodies for example. They were called "non-dynamic" bodies => dynamic = false These dynamic or non-dynamic designations were at one time replaced by the other terms of "fixed" (or not). So, there is no difference at all, except that "dynamic" concerns Yade's past, and that (dynamic = true) <=> (fixed = false). And the contrary. So for your present Yade's use, listen to Anton's advice. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of yade-users, which is an answer contact for Yade. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
