New question #702751 on Yade: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/702751
Hello, I am trying to simulate a rotating drum. To avoid the effect of the front and back wall of the drum, instead of choosing the length of the drum very long I want to set periodic boundary only in this direction(z direction). So I defined a box with the same dimension of the drum in the z direction, and bigger than the radius of the drum. The drum center is located on (0,0,0) with the radius 0.5m and length of 0.2. So I defined the box as : sp=pack.SpherePack() sp.makeCloud((-0.3,-0.3,-0.05),(0.3,0.3,0.05),rMean=r) sp.toSimulation(material=mat) walls = O.bodies.append(ymport.stl('Drum.stl',material=mat2)) O.periodic = True O.cell.setBox(5,5,0.2) Based on the answers to some similar questions I also added allowBiggerThanPeriod=True: InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb(), Bo1_Facet_Aabb()],allowBiggerThanPeriod=True ), But I get a very weird simulation. Is the center of the created box using O.cell.setBox(5,5,0.2) on (0,0,0) ? I was wondering if you could help me find where are my mistakes and how I can apply the boundary condition in this case.
