Sorry for very late reply . I'm sure that you already figured that
out. The solution is very simple - use REGISTER_ATTRIBUTE in your
engine unit. Make an extra variable in the FileGenerator, and when
creating actors assign 

EngineUnit->yourVariable=extraVariable;

It works just like actionForceDamping (the damping value is a parameter of EnginneUnit):

shared_ptr<CundallNonViscousForceDamping> actionForceDamping(new CundallNonViscousForceDamping);
actionForceDamping->damping = dampingForce;
actionDampingDispatcher->add("Force","RigidBodyParameters","CundallNonViscousForceDamping",actionForceDamping);


Well, better answer late than never.

BTW, Bruno - I am wondering why you did unsubscribe from yade-commits?
