Experiments on a rotating cylinder

 

Hi all

I would like to do the following experiment using yade:

"The experimental set-up consists of a horizontal steel cylinder (D ×
L=250mm × 310mm)
with a transparent glass plate at the front. To avoid unwanted sliding
motion,
the inner wall of the cylinder is glued with sandpaper.  In the experiments,
dry beans are
used as testing material (d=3.50mm, Θ=34°). The cylinder is partially filled
with beans (f=0.248, 0.39)
and rotated by a geared motor with rotation speeds n ranging from 4.86 to
13.3 revs/min,
resulting in the rolling motion of the material bed."

Last month I have installed yade (Yade bzr2066) and tried to study it using
the documentatin given in https://www.yade-dem.org/sphinx/.
But still I have no idea about how to start.  Is there any other
documentation or some basic examples for a beginner?
I know basics of Python language and also Linux.  But not good in C++.

Please somebody help me to proceed...
