Jan Stránský posted a new comment: Hello, > I am kinda new to Yade welcome :-) and sorry for late reply > This beam or cuboid is then loaded with a force and presses onto a bed of particles. what is "bed of particles"? spherical particles? > A. Are there further methods in yade on simulating deformable bodies that could work for that application? You can create cohesive packing of overlapping spheres. The overlapping would make the surface smoother than distinct spheres, but not perfectly flat have a look at DeformableElement stuff [1]. I have no experience with it, but sounds relevant to your problem. Also, as PFacets are present, something like PTetrahedron would solve your problem. > D. Is it possible to use boxes or cubes instead of spherical nodes and cylinders as connection? Theoretically yes. But I doubt it is currently implemented. cheers Jan [1] https://gitlab.com/yade- dev/trunk/-/tree/master/examples/deformableelem -- 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
