Hi all,

just a general question. Is there a way to calculate in Yade the energy
dissipation in a particle system within a simulation? I mean, in order to
get a quasi-static condition we dissipate energy, whether this happen
through the local/global damping and/or due to the friction. Can we do this
calculation in Yade? It would be almost another parameter to check the
system condition, like the unbalanced force, for instance. If it is not yet
done, do you have any idea how to do that?

BTW, do you have any references to suggest me about energy dissipation?

Cheers, Chiara
