Hi,

I am trying to detect interaction forces when depositing an object of conical 
shape into the soil. 
For that purpose I use gravel material for soil and steel for object which is 
made out of facets. These are the parameters I set up for soil and object, 
respectively:

gravel = 
O.materials.append(FrictMat(density=1602,young=120e6,poisson=.25,frictionAngle=.61))
stainless_steel = 
O.materials.append(FrictMat(density=7740,young=180e9,poisson=.305,frictionAngle=.79))
This is how I set up engines:

O.engines=[      
   ForceResetter(),
   InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb(),Bo1_Facet_Aabb()]),
   InteractionLoop(     
      [Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_ScGeom(),Ig2_Facet_Sphere_ScGeom()], # handle 
sphere+sphere and facet+sphere collisions
      [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys(frictAngle=None)],
      [Law2_L3Geom_FrictPhys_ElPerfPl()]
   ),
   NewtonIntegrator(gravity=(0,0,-9.81),damping=.3),
]
# set up time step
O.dt=.5*utils.PWaveTimeStep()

As for moving the object I use PyRunner and in every time step I change its 
position.

When I try to move the object while in soil (with the aim of finding trajectory 
with which minimum force would be exerted), the soil becomes unstable, and 
particles move outside of the bounding box. Everything is ok if the deposition 
is made as a straight line without any additional movements. 
I would like to know why does this happen and how can it be fixed? Is it due to 
high density of the object, high young modulus? What particular effect has 
velocity of the object?
I would be very grateful for any further advices on this matter, since I am new 
to Yade and the matter of soil behaviour and soil models in general. 

Thank you,

Selma
