Question #644244 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/644244
Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer: About lines 64-66, yes you've got it. Except that the newly created interactions will still be of JCFpmPhys type (nothing "less expensive"). It will indeed be of a non-cohesive variant, most probably (depends on Ip2_JCFpmMat_JCFpmMat_JCFpmPhys.cohesiveTresholdIteration). For my previous 3rd paragraph, the point is this "D = geom->penetrationDepth - phys->initD;" was surely introduced having in mind the distant interaction case: in order to allow non-touching particles to still interact, including the instance of repulsive (compressive) interaction forces. How the model behaves with initially overlapping particles (what we're discussing right now) is just a side effect which (I think) has never been considered as detrimental. What I meant was to give an example of model generation for which the model still behaves very classically with respect to these initially overlapping particles. -- 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
