Status: Answered => Open Alexander is still having a problem: Hi, Jan. First thanks for strains = [Matrix3(*[TW.deformation(b.id),i,j) for i in xrange(3) for j in xrange(3)]) for b in O.bodies] i will check it. Now the problem, so i also messed with value of Young's module taken 2e9 instead of 2e11 :), that's why the results was so different, now they are a little bit closer , please see pictures along the direction of pressure F. displacement Yade - http://i11.pixs.ru/storage/5/9/0/pic1JPG_8725641_18032590.jpg Ansys - http://i11.pixs.ru/storage/6/1/0/pic4JPG_2632224_18032610.jpg stress Yade - http://i11.pixs.ru/storage/7/6/4/pic2JPG_7240037_18032764.jpg Ansys - http://i11.pixs.ru/storage/6/5/6/pic5JPG_6182930_18032656.jpg. Talking about stress besides values range i also don't like distribution because of the spheres on ABCD and KGOH has minimal values (marked with red rectangules) . Stress distribution should be something like in Ansys, because we checked it it with another FEM simulator (http://i11.pixs.ru/storage/7/5/5/pic7JPG_3148063_18032755.jpg). You already made comment: "at boundaries (=all spheres in your example :-), the values might be approximated worse and also the physics itself (distribution of interactions) is different than in "bulk" spheres." So should i left this situation like that or do something? Anyway showing stress distribution like that is not ok. Well now about calibrating 'young' and 'poisson' arguments. I fluently read your article (soon I'll try read it in details). As i understand the final relation between macroscopic material properties and microscopic model parameters described by the formulas (highlighted in red)(http://i11.pixs.ru/storage/8/1/0/pic3JPG_6512680_18032810.jpg) . So should i use these formulas or set 'young' and 'poisson' empirically (by changing their values and compare with Ansys)? If i need to use formulas the questions are: 1) where can i get k_N and K_S params in CpmMat? 2) Also how to get L_c, as i understand L_c is the distance between centers of each 2 sphere bounded by link (so called bars length), 3) Is it applicable only for model consists of rigid spheres with uniform radius R? If i will try second variant (i think it's simplier :) what is the best stategy to do it? Because i have 2 parameters and should change it separately (may be i should fix one and change another, or for example change both of them at one step)? with regards, Alexander -- 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 : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
