Hi everybody,

I'm trying to model how a concrete block behaves when it falls from a certain 
high (only accelerated with gravity action). I am interested in understanding 
how it breaks or, at least, obtaining its tensional behaviour. 

In order to model this test I'm using Yade with CpmMat model for the spheres of 
the block. For the ground, I'm using a wall made of concrete too, but stiffer 
than the concrete block in order to introduce a harder material simulating the 
ground effect in the collision.  I'm a new user of Yade so I'm still getting 
used with all the commands and models implemented in Yade.

My first question is, basically, is Yade capable of simulate my main purpose? 
or, should I modify the models or code so that Yade works this test? I'm using 
Yade-daily version which, currently is 3+3602+47~precise1

On the other hand, I've tried to do this by using different commands of Yade, 
and I have developed a script, here it is (I used the same parameters that are 
given in the examples, if the model results lead to a succesful model, then I 
would use more realistic parameters of my particular material):

"#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from yade import pack
from yade import utils
import math

pred=pack.inParallelepiped((0,0,.3),(.1,0,.3),(0,.1,.3),(0,0,.4)) # 0.3 meters 
each squared face

idConcrete=O.materials.append(CpmMat(young=24e9,frictionAngle=atan(0.8),poisson=.2,density=4800,sigmaT=3.5e6,epsCrackOnset=1e-4,isoPrestress=0))
 # Concrete block material definition

idGround=O.materials.append(CpmMat(young=30e30,density=1000,poisson=.2,frictionAngle=.5))
 # Concrete ground material definition

Spheres=pack.randomDensePack(pred, radius=3.5e-3, spheresInCell=1000, 
material=idConcrete)

O.bodies.append(Spheres)

Horizontal_Wall=utils.wall(0,axis=2,sense=0,material=idGround)

O.bodies.append(Horizontal_Wall)

from yade import qt
qt.Controller()
qt.View()

O.engines=[
        ForceResetter(),
        
InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb(aabbEnlargeFactor=1.5),Bo1_Wall_Aabb()]),
        InteractionLoop(
                
[Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_Dem3DofGeom(distFactor=1.5),Ig2_Wall_Sphere_Dem3DofGeom() if 
not ScGeom else 
Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_ScGeom(interactionDetectionFactor=1.5),Ig2_Wall_Sphere_ScGeom()],
                [Ip2_CpmMat_CpmMat_CpmPhys()],
                [Law2_Dem3DofGeom_CpmPhys_Cpm(epsSoft=0) if not ScGeom else 
Law2_ScGeom_CpmPhys_Cpm()],
        ),
        NewtonIntegrator(damping=.4,gravity=[0,0,-9.81]),]
"

When I run the script I get an error like this: 

Yade [2]: FATAL 
/build/buildd/yade-daily-3+3602+47~precise1/pkg/dem/ConcretePM.cpp:375 go: 
Verification `!isnan(epsFracture)' failed!

go: in interaction #423+#570

Abortado (`core' generado)

I've been reading tutorials but I don't understand which one has been my 
mistake. I would be grateful if anyone could help me. 

Thank you.
