Status: Answered => Open Ruidong LI is still having a problem: Hi! Jan, Thanks for your reply. It is really helpful. But I still have two questions about this function: 1) return ServoPIDController(ids=[node.id],axis=axis,iterPeriod=...,target=f,...) for the 'axis' mentioned in PIDController, should it be defined individually for each node like this? confiningStress=5e4 cen_x = x_cyl # x coordinate of the centre of the crosssection cen_y = y_cyl # y coordinate of the centre of the crosssection def node2servo(node): x,y,z = node.state.pos area = 2* pi*r_cyl*h_cyl/len(nodes) # cylinder surface / number of nodes ? f = confiningStress * area axis = vector(x-cen_x, y-cen_y, z) return ServoPIDController(ids=[node.id],axis=axis,iterPeriod=100,target=f) 2) If I want to monitor the average stress on the flexible membrane, what should I do? My idea is that iterate all nodes and sum up the force in the direction of the connection line between the centre of the crosssection and the node, and then divide it by the area of the flexible membrane. If so, how to get the force in the direction of the connection line between the centre of the crosssection and the node for an individual node?
