Strange behaviour of function unbalancedForce

 

Hi guys,

I just wanted to use the function unbalancedForce in one of my scripts. And 
look what is happening: running the same simulation several times after each 
other gives different results for the unbalancedForce. Well either some values 
which seem all right or just zero. The script I used is: 
examples/WireMatPM/wirecontacttest.py

Even using different computers and different versions of yade gives this 
problem. However, it doesn't happen all the time. It seems like you have to 
try several times to get the wrog value (which is zero) for unbalancedForce 
and if I use Bruno's collide2 branch it seems to work all the time.

So I don't know if it is a problem with my script or a problem of the current 
trunk version. Can anyone reproduce this problem?

Thanks
Klaus
