Question #201769 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/201769
Chiara Modenese proposed the following answer: Hi Anna, Are you aware that you input in the model some rolling resistance (if you try with the bool includeMoment=False you will see what I mean)? I think that explains the behaviour. Can you please try to explain here the purpose of your test? It may help us to give you a better answer.
