Re: [Question #136034]: quasi-static equilibrium

 

Question #136034 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/136034

Chareyre proposed the following answer:
There was an indentation  bug, sorry. ;-)
It should read :

1- Is the system stable (i.e. unbalanced force monotonicaly decreasing down to 1e-10 or
so) under isotropic (or gravitational - I don't know what you are doing exactly) loading?
 	2- If yes, do you find a proportionality between loading rate and unbalanced force during
	the loading?
 		3- If yes, unbF/rate is most probably scaled with damping. Do you really need damping?
 			4- If yes, find the optimal damping in terms of CPU time (most probably around 0.1-0.2).
 		5- else get rif of damping
 	6- else, there is a problem in the formulation (either contact law or boundary
 	conditions control). It needs to be fixed.
7- else, same as 6.
