Ok, so this bug (?!) seems to be more important, than I thought...

I compared the first 10 steps of the previous model and created 2 output files (force-disp-pfc.txt and force-disp-yade.txt) and 2 force-displacement plot files (force-disp-pfc.bmp and force-disp-yade.png).
Note, that coordinate systems are different: z-axis in pfc is in the opposite direction!

The txt-files are structured as follows (only z-components are
examined):

column 1 -> step number
column 2 -> time
column 3 -> overlap (un)
column 4 -> velocity (upper particle)
column 5 -> normal force (Fn or Fn_z)
column 6 -> shear force (Fs or Fs_z)

There are 3 basic differences:

1.) PFC starts output with step 1, YADE with step 2
-> so step 1 in yade equals step 2 in pfc!

2.) normal forces are completely different for both programs (see column
5)

3.) in Yade a shear force occurs after the 6. step


I will come back on you soon with results of linear model...


Christian.

Title:
  different behavoir of Hertz model while comparing PFC and YADE

Status in Yet Another Dynamic Engine:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  During verifiing my model I compared output from PFC 4.0 with the
  output from YADE (bzr2877 on Debian Squeeze 64bit). There I found a
  different behavior between these two programs. I dont know if this is
  a bug or not, but I hope someone can explain the different behavior.

  The model itself is very simple. There are two spheres, an upper one and a lower one. The lower one is fixed and the upper one is falling down to the lower one, collides and jumps back. The value of interest is the flyback height of the upper particle.
  In PFC I measure higher values of flyback height, then in YADE (see log-files in the attachment).

  Can someone tell me why there is a difference in the flyback height?
  (input parameters are the same for both programs ... see caller_two-spheres-jumping.dat for PFC and two-spheres.py for YADE)

  Regards,

  Christian Jakob
