Hello all, 
I'm encountering a problem when using yade and oofem for triaxial test 
simulations.
In the model, I simulated the rubber membrane with oofem and applied confine 
pressure with nodal forces (σ3=600kPa). However, when the axial strain is about 
1%, the rubber membrane starts to rotate in one direction and an excessive 
amount of deformation is generated at the same time. Here is how I apply the 
nodal force:
In the model, the height of the specimen is 0.6m, the nodal force is 423.9N.

global vsc
vsc = [v.coords for v in self.femMesh.vertices]
for i,v in enumerate(self.forces):
                        angle = math.atan2(vsc[i][1],vsc[i][0])
                        D = (vsc[i][0]**2)+(vsc[i][1]**2)
                        angle1=vsc[i][0]/0.16699999
                        angle2=vsc[i][1]/0.16699999
                        if D > 0.024 and vsc[i][2] < 0.589:
                                #self.forces[i] = 
self.forces[i]+Vector3(-423.9*math.cos(angle),-423.9*math.sin(angle),0)
                                self.forces[i] = 
self.forces[i]+Vector3(-423.9*angle1,-423.9*angle2,0)

Is there something wrong with the way I apply the nodal force?
