Hi, I forgot to paste my final solution code:

Real DampingAdjustment::convergenceValue(Body* body)
{
        if (!convergenceEstimater)
        {
             MetaBody * ncb = dynamic_cast<MetaBody*>(body);
             std::vector<shared_ptr<Engine> >::iterator itFirst = ncb->engines.begin();
             std::vector<shared_ptr<Engine> >::iterator itLast = ncb->engines.end();
             for ( ;itFirst!=itLast; ++itFirst )
             {
                 if ( ( *itFirst )->getClassName() == "ConvergenceEstimater" )
                 {
                   ///FIXME here should be dynamic_cast or static_cast???
                   convergenceEstimater = static_pointer_cast<ConvergenceEstimater>(*itFirst);
                   //cerr << "CCValue to be:\n" << convergenceEstimater->getCCValue() << end;
                   break;
                 }
              }
        }
        return convergenceEstimater->getCCValue();
}

Subject: Re: [Yade-users] How to communicate between two independent Engines
 

One more solution can be to scan the list of engines form inside one engine.
You have an exemple in TriaxialStateRecorder, which record variables of 
TriaxialCompressionEngine.


This first part will be executed only once :

TriaxialStateRecorder.cpp, Line 69 :
 
if ( !triaxialCompressionEngine )                
//(triaxialCompressionEngine is a pointer to an object of this type)
    {
        vector<shared_ptr<Engine> >::iterator itFirst = 
ncb->engines.begin();
        vector<shared_ptr<Engine> >::iterator itLast = ncb->engines.end();
        for ( ;itFirst!=itLast; ++itFirst )
        {
            if ( ( *itFirst )->getClassName() == 
"TriaxialCompressionEngine" ) //|| (*itFirst)->getBaseClassName() == 
"TriaxialCompressionEngine")
            {
                LOG_DEBUG ( "stress controller engine found" );
                triaxialCompressionEngine =  
YADE_PTR_CAST<TriaxialCompressionEngine> ( *itFirst );
                //triaxialCompressionEngine = 
shared_ptr<TriaxialCompressionEngine> 
(static_cast<TriaxialCompressionEngine*> ( (*itFirst).get()));
            }
        }
    }


Then the initialized pointer is used to get data from the engine, like 
at line 91 :

Real V = ( triaxialCompressionEngine->height ) * ( 
triaxialCompressionEngine->width ) * ( triaxialCompressionEngine->depth );

Your "DampingAdjustment" could just do the same and scan engines to find 
a "ConvergenceEstimator".

The solution proposed by Vaçlav should work too.
