Bruno Chareyre posted a new comment: Ok, so we really have to discuss that Luc. cohesiveFrictionalPM is a duplicate of Law2_ScGeom6D_CohFrictPhys_CohesionMoment for the most part. You are about to commit an improved duplicate of a duplicate?... I would really like if we could avoid that. A few reasons: - users are lost with so many possibilites; - lots of unmaintained laws; - well tested algorithms for contact kinematics (I'm reworking those for a few months now and will commit improvements sometime soon), periodic boundary conditions, etc. are only implemented in a small number of laws since it is painfull to propagate a fix in all existing laws, hence many laws are using poor implementation of contact handling. - similarly convenience features (e.g. elastic energy and plastic dissipation) are only available for a few laws. What are the key features of your materials/law that are not present in Law2_ScGeom6D_CohFrictPhys_CohesionMoment? What would it cost in terms of additional attribute to implement it in the existing classes? I can see it needs the number of broken contacts in material class, if its only that it is not worth a full set of classes I think. First, please, no new law unless you remove at the same time cohesiveFrictionalPM completely. Second, even assuming that cohesiveFrictionalPM will be removed, does it really need a new law? -- 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
