Re: [Question #706190]: Contacts between walls and particles

 

Question #706190 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/706190

Sanel Avdić posted a new comment:
Here is the script I'm using. The simulation is working. I need help to build a part of the code that will give me an access to all inter-particle forces with particle IDs and positions so I can extract the ones that are acting on the cylinder walls. It would be great if i can extract the data for certain values of the compression force Fz (every 100N for example). 
Thanks!
