Hi,

Recently, there is a problem that has been confusing me, that is, using DEM to 
simulate consolidate undrained triaxial tests. In laboratory , consolidated 
undrained triaxial test require  stability of the confining pressure by the 
servo system, 
 and keep sample volume constant through undrained condition, and these two 
systems are independent and basically do not interfere with each other, which 
means that confining pressure and volume of the sample do not change during the 
shearing process. However, as one of the methods, we set 

stressMask = 0
triax.goal2 = rate
triax.goal1 = triax.goal3 = - rate/2

to simulate undrained condition in Yade. It seems that only the volume of the 
sample can keep constant, the confining pressure is changing during shearing. 
So is this method not very compatible with laboratory tests? Does this have an 
impact on the accuracy of the simulation results?

Thank you !
