[Question #226881]: questions on ThreeDTriaxialEngine
New question #226881 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/226881
As recommended by B Chareyre etc. use TriaxialStressController instead of ThreeDTriaxialEngine
I still rerun the code in triax-tutorial folder, I find script1 will collapse with a high strain rate say 2.0, but will not converge with a low strain rate say 0.02. I used TriaxialStressController instead, a strain rate of 0.02 will converge, but contact angels can't be changed.
questions is below
1) ThreeDTriaxialEngine does sth different than TriaxialStressController
2) StressControl_1 2 3 with a flag of False seem to force the motion of the walls, at that time, what does a stressMask do?
script is below
1) ThreeDTriaxialEngine
