Question #452513 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/452513
Status: Open => Answered Jan Stránský proposed the following answer: Hi Michael, I'm new with Yade Welcome :-) the basic idea of DEM is that inter-particle forces depends on mutual overlap (linearly in the most basic case). So if you apply gravity and the sample is supposed to be in static equilibrium, overlaps are intrinsic part of the situation. One solution is to enlarge particles slightly before simulation and shrink them back to original size afterwards. In this case there will be no overlaps, but the particles would not be touching at the same time (both mutually and also between particle-wall). To make particles just touching the walls, you can shrink the particles individually to fulfill exactly the condition of touching. cheers Jan -- You received this question notification because your team yade-users 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
