Hi,
I have a problem with stresses in YADE. 
I created a box and filled it with spheres as soil. Now I need to get a stress 
in Z direction (sigma Z) in  different height.
For this scope I found three ways in YADE.

1- bodyStressTensores():  Getting stress for each particle, then average 
particle's stresses that has almost equal height and then multiply it by (1-n). 
n is prosity. [1]

2- bodyStressTensores() and TesselationWrapper(): Using micro-stress method and 
then average particle's stress which are in almost same height. [2]

3- Force method: Export f(z) for each particle then sum forces in almost same 
height. Then divide it by  area of the bottom box.

I have done all of these methods but the results are not same. Which one is 
more realistic and reliable? Theoretical method is Gama* Z, but non of them are 
close to this value!

Thanks.
