I am also new to programming and DEM. no need to repeat it every question :-) (1) uses some significant simplifications (w.r.t real sand): - is uses spherical particles - it uses "simple" material law "To approximate actual soil particles", you can improve one or both of these simplifications: - you can use non-spherical particles - polyhedrons, clumps [2, Kozicki2012] - you can use other material law, e.g. as you proposed using using twisting or rolling moments A more detailed "program, method, and advice" strongly depends on details and definitions (such as "to reflect mechanical properties between particles", "to approach the behavior between soil particles", "to approximate actual soil particles"), what is not suitable on the simple approach, what results are expected, etc. etc. Cheers Jan [2] https://www.yade-dem.org/doc/publications.html -- 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 : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
