Hi all,
I am trying to analyze contact problems between soil and off-road tire by 
dem-fem coupling program developed by Jan Stránský (Ref[1]). However, I have 
some problems with constructing the simulation especially because I am not 
familiar with OOFEM.

The tire is represented by FEM and I am trying to apply DeadWeight on the tire 
to apply gravity force.
I tried the code below based on the example ‘surf1_oofem.py’, which is included 
in the coupling program, but the error occurs.
And I am also not sure that the argument of DeadWeight is correct.
Is it possible to use DeadWeight with the coupling program?

ltf = liboofem.loadTimeFunction("constantFunction",1,f_t=0)
bc = liboofem.boundaryCondition(1, domain, loadTimeFunction=1, 
prescribedValue=0.0)
dw = liboofem.deadWeight(2, domain, components=[3,0.0,0.0,-9.81], 
loadTimeFunction=1)

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'deadweight'

And is it possible to apply constant pressure on the surface of the tire to 
represent the internal air pressure of tire?
I think ConstantSurfaceLoad is suitable for this purpose but using 
ConstantSurfaceLoad causes the same error as the DeadWeight above.

I am also trying to apply force or torque to rotate the tire at constant 
rotational velocity. Then is it possible to apply additional force on the tire 
made by FEM mesh by Yade’s module like O.forces.addF()?

Thanks,
Ryota
