Question #705007 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/705007
Vasileios Angelidakis proposed the following answer: Hi Guo, What you describe is one of the limitations of the multisphere modelling approach. Indeed, this technique introduces an artificial amount of contact stiffness anisotropy at the particle level. Thankfully, the linear model of yade considers the stiffness to be proportional to particle radius, and so smaller subspheres within your clump should have smaller effect in terms of additional force. If this issue is critical in your application, you can either 1. look into different clump generation techniques, where you can control the amount of overlap introduced or 2. change to a different modelling technique for non-spherical particles. Hope this helps, Vasileios -- 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
