Dear all,

I have a problem in understanding the  use of ''O.run()" in my script. this 
problem is not a bug or an error. it is about, when and how does O.run() 
work?????

more precisely, what is difference between using O.run(n,True) in the middle, 
or befor timing.stats() or at the end of the script??

does it loop over the scrip for n iterations (O.run(n,True)) and then 
continuing the code? or the script runs step by step but O.run() only executes 
for n iterations?????

for being more precise, I need some explanation about (***[1,2,3,4]) in below 
script (oedometer.py):

from yade import pack

num_spheres=1000# number of spheres
young=1e6
compFricDegree = 3 # initial contact friction during the confining phase
finalFricDegree = 30 # contact friction during the deviatoric loading

O.materials.append(FrictMat(young=young,poisson=0.5,frictionAngle=radians(compFricDegree),density=2600,label='spheres'))
O.materials.append(FrictMat(young=young,poisson=0.5,frictionAngle=0,density=0,label='walls'))

sp.makeCloud(mn,mx,-1,0.3333,num_spheres,False, 0.95,seed=1) #"seed" make the 
"random" generation always the same
sp.toSimulation(material='spheres')

        maxMultiplier=1.+2e4/young, # spheres growing factor (fast growth)

        internalCompaction=True, # If true the confining pressure is generated 
by growing particles
)
