Christian Sommerfeld is still having a problem:
Hi,

@Jan: I have a picture of a load cell, which is involved in a measurement chain to measure forces. But i don't know how to upload this picture!
The load cell is a cylindrical body of stell with stain gauges inside. So it is possible to measure the forces in the 3 directions an d the rotating moment.  But currently i'm only interested in the forces. So if there is a force acting on the cylindrical body it will lead to a deformation of one or more than one strain gauge. This will lead to a change of the electrical potential of the strain gauge. For this simple experiment there is only an effect in z-direction. 

This simple experiment is only a try to validate the forces between the
simulation and the real experiment.  My basic approach is to simulate a
package of spheres in a cylinder and there is a rotating cylindrical
tool inside the the cylinder which is acting on the spheres. Therefore i
want to measure the force which is acting on the tool.
