New question #670889 on Yade: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/670889
Hi, I'm also doing some work related to the removal of particles, and I have a problem similar to Question #452277. https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/452277 I tried to set the flowEngine.dead=1 and then set it to 0 after few steps, which didn't work. I tried to slice the list of engines to instantiate the flowEngine, which led to memory leak. Do anyone have a way to release the memory effectively? Can anyone give me some suggestion? Thanks a lot. I'm running Yade 2018.02b, Ubuntu 18.04.
