So :
- CND = Constant Normal Displacement (shear) : "To apply a constant 
normal displacement shear for a parallelogram box" in 
https://www.yade-dem.org/sphinx/yade.wrapper.html#yade.wrapper.KinemCNDEngine

- CTD = Constant Tangential Displacement (compression) : "To compress 
(...) so that the tangential displacement (...) remains constant." in 
https://www.yade-dem.org/sphinx/yade.wrapper.html#yade.wrapper.KinemCTDEngine

- CNL = Constant Normal Load (shear) : "To apply a constant normal 
stress shear" in 
https://www.yade-dem.org/sphinx/yade.wrapper.html#yade.wrapper.KinemCNLEngine

- KNC does not exist anymore in fact, it is now CNS = Constant Normal 
Stifness (shear) : "To apply a constant normal rigidity shear" in 
https://www.yade-dem.org/sphinx/yade.wrapper.html#yade.wrapper.KinemCNSEngine
