[Jerome Duriez <duriez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello. It is surely a bit late (...) to help you but I answer for maybe 
other people who will be interested in the same thing in the future.
   So, now there is in the latests versions of Yade an Engine (in 
pkg/dem/Engine/StandAloneEngine/) named "ForceSnapshot" you could use 
for save in an output file all the values of normal force of the 
interactions present in the model. I use this output File with Matlab 
then to draw such force networks (spheres of the model with a more or 
less big line between the spheres in contact to represent the value of 
the normal force). My problem is 3D but I ask to Matlab to draw only the 
interacting spheres that are both in a "cut" (that is to say that for 
exemple their Ycenter belongs to [Y0-Dy;Y0+Dy], with Dy similar to a 
mean diameter of your spheres, so that not too much spheres that are 
behind each other are drawn).
