Question #264174 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/264174
Hongyang Alex Cheng proposed the following answer: Hi, Shenyang Like Bruno said. you should take a look at the functors you use. The contact springs are defined by the law2 and the Ip2 functors. The meaning of Young's modulus and poisson ratio varies from different set of law2 and lp2 functors in use (see linear contact and mindlin contact for instance). If you use the linear contact law changing poisson ratio will only affect the shear stiffness. Note that adjusting material constants doesn't have effect on existing contacts.
