Re: Potential Blocks and Potential Particles - Documentation

 

Hi Boon,

Brilliant! Thank you for this, very much!
First of all, is it ok to send replies to yade-dev or do you want messages to your personal mailbox as well (currently in cc)?

I will check you pull request.
Please note that we will be migrating from github to gitlab soon for hosting source code. If you have too limited time to follow this switch everything should be fine as long as you notify us on yade-dev list (else merge requests to github could remain unnoticed - if not impossible when/if the github repo will be closed).

The attached file for introduction will be a problem to handle. Opening it with libreoffice is enough to mess things up completely on my side. A minimal solution is to convert it to pdf and sending some upload. Better solutions are to type in an *.rst format or latex format for inclusion in yade technical archives.

Also feel free to include additional references in the list of yade publications[1,2] (even possibly not by you but by people using your implementation).

Best regards

Bruno

Hi all,

In my DPhil thesis submitted in 2013, I previously developed algorithms for (i) block generation and contact detection between polyhedral blocks (I have named it as Potential Blocks in YADE), and also (ii) contact detection between general non-spherical particles (Potential Particles).

It is now being updated with Coin-OR's clp library (2015) and I've added it into the config file in YADE (2016-2017).  I've written a brief introduction as to how to enable this feature in YADE (attached), so that it can be incorporated into YADE's Documentation (maybe 3rd edition?).  I am working in the industry currently, and can only spend time on a casual basis as a hobby (once in a few months).

The algorithms for block generation and contact detection are already being used by other research groups.

Btw, recently I submitted a pull request, to update the description of some variables.

Yours,
CWBoon
