Jan Stránský proposed the following answer: > So how is the magnitude of the force determined? it is up to you and your problem. For your case, it could be something like force = bodyLoad / fictitiousParticleVolume or force = surfaceLoad / fictitiousParticleArea > Is it done by (1,0,0) force vector? I'm a little unsure how to set the size of a force through a force vector. You can compose force vector from magnitude and direction, like: magnitude = 123 # scalar direction = Vector3(1,2,3).normalized() # unit (normalized) vector, with its norm equal to 1 forceVector = magnitude * direction O.forces.setPermF(bodyID,forceVector) Cheers Jan -- 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
