[Question #190776]: too many fluctuations in 2d simulation

Hi,

Due to my problem scale, I have to use a relatively small packing to represent a RVE. So the particle number is about 1000~2000. But I found the behaviour is too fluctuated. I've seen some published results using the similar number of particles but get relatively smooth results. After some failed try on tuning parameters (particle properties, compression speed, etc.), I am wondering if anyone has experience on the 2d simulation with yade. Below is my script:

====================================================================
from yade import pack,plot

O.materials.append(FrictMat(young=1e9,poisson=.3,frictionAngle=.7,density=2.6e3))

sp = pack.SpherePack()
sp.makeCloud(minCorner=(0,0,0),maxCorner=(3,3,0),rMean=0.03,rRelFuzz=.5,periodic=True,seed=1)
sp.toSimulation()
O.cell.hSize = Matrix3(3,0,0, 0,3,0, 0,0,1)
print len(O.bodies)
for p in O.bodies:
   p.state.blockedDOFs = 'zXY'

def saveAddData():
   plot.addData(
      stress_xx = biax.stress[0],
      stress_yy = biax.stress[1],
      strain_xx = biax.strain[0],
      strain_yy = biax.strain[1]
   )

O.dt = .5*utils.PWaveTimeStep()
##consolidation
O.engines = [
   ForceResetter(),
   InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb()]), 
   InteractionLoop(
      [Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_Dem3DofGeom()],
      [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys()],
      [Law2_Dem3DofGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack()]
   ),
   Peri3dController(
      goal=(-1.e6,-1.e6,0,0,0,0),
      stressMask=3,
      nSteps=20000,
      maxStrain=1.,
      label='cons'
   ),
   NewtonIntegrator(damping=.3)
]
O.run();O.wait()

O.saveTmp(); O.loadTmp()
O.materials[0].frictionAngle=.5
##undrained biaxial compression
O.engines = [
   ForceResetter(),
   InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb()]), 
   InteractionLoop(
      [Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_Dem3DofGeom()],
      [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys()],
      [Law2_Dem3DofGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack()]
   ),
   Peri3dController(
      goal=(1.e-1,-1.e-1,0,0,0,0),
      stressMask=0,
      nSteps=200000,
      maxStrain=1.,
      label='biax',
      stressIdeal=Vector6(-1.e6,-1.e6,0,0,0,0)
   ),
   NewtonIntegrator(damping=.3),
   PyRunner(command='saveAddData()',iterPeriod=1000)
]
O.run();O.wait()

plot.saveDataTxt('result_undrained.txt',vars=('stress_xx','stress_yy','strain_xx','strain_yy','porosity'))
