New question #638137 on Yade: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/638137
Hello All, I am completely new in using YADE (very limited preliminary knowledge) but as a part of my research Ph.D. thesis, I have to implement a new contact law between particles. Before getting my hands dirty, I have to make sure if I will be able to do this in a short period of time (less than 3 weeks). The contact law I need to implement is a rolling resistance model for nonconvex, nonsmooth contact proposed by Jiang et al. (Two-Dimensional Discrete Element Theory for Rough Particles,2009). The authors, originally have implemented their model in a code called revised 2D DEM and obtained satisfactory results. I am going to repeat the same scenario using YADE. I need your help guiding me what to do: 1- I am new in both C++ and Python and don't know a lot about YADE. What are the steps for adding a code? Do I need to start C++ and Python from the beginning ? I know that I have to read Programmer's Manual Too. 2- I have installed YADE itself but I think I need Yade/Trunk for modifying the source code. If yes, I don't know how to install and compile YADE/TRUNK. I read something about that but am not sure how to install it (when I go to code repository at Git Hub, I don't know what to download and how to install and compile Yade/Trunk then) All your help will be highly appreciated -- 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 : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
