Question #174453 on Yade changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hi Ning,

What king of 2d simulation you want to simulate? I think that purely 2D
simulation is not supported by Yade. However, you can do some workaround,
i.e. to define bodies only in one plane (z=0 lets say, so the working plane
is xy) and block out-of-plane degrees of freedom:

for b in O.bodies: b.state.blockedDOFs = 'zXY'

this will prevent bodies translation along z axis and rotation around X and
Y axes. It should be something like plane stress conditions, but I am not
sure if plane strain or axial symmetry would work in this way..

Best wishes
Jan
