Question #706976 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/706976
Ruidong LI gave more information on the question: Karol, Thanks for your reply. ---I think that you need to be much more specific. For example, is each of the 800 gts files modelling a single particle? ---Yes. Each GTS file denotes one single particle. ---Do you try to reproduce the exact shape of the sample (particles in their corresponding locations from the very beginning)? What code do you use to generate clumps? ---Yes. I'd like to reproduce the exact shape of the sample (particles in their corresponding locations from the very beginning). The code I used to generate the clump is presented below: def createSphere(pred, ndivmin, spacing): aabb = pred.aabb() dim0 = aabb[1][0] - aabb[0][0] bodyList = [] ndiv = ndivmin while len(bodyList)==0: radius = dim0 / ndiv # get some characteristic dimension, use it for radius bodyList = O.bodies.append(pack.regularHexa(pred, radius = radius, gap = -radius, color = [random.random(),random.random(),random.random()], material = sphereMat)) ndiv = ndiv + spacing ---Can you prepare the MVE[1]? If not possible, please describe your workflow. --- I can provide the MVE. But I don't know how to provide my GTS. I just imported gts files into Yade and created the surface, then generate spheres using the 'pack.regularHexa' function. ---What do you mean that the sample shrinks in the height direction? Smaller than expected after deposition, or did something actually shrink? --- This means that when the unbalanced force ratio tends to be stable, the height of the sample is smaller than the real value. The reason behind this, I guess, is the voids between clumps since clumps are smaller than the gts surface. -- 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
