Hi,
one question (maybe silly, if so please forgive me):

- Recently I added the computation of fabric tensor for the periodic cell. I
see that is quite common to split it into two parts in order to distinguish
between strong and weak contact forces. All I need to do is simply to
compare each contact force with the mean of all of them. Doing so, do I need
to account for the sign of the force (I suppose so)? If so, how do I
consider the shear force, I mean with what sign?

Thank you.
Chiara
