Question #252675 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/252675

    Status: Open => Answered

Janek Kozicki proposed the following answer:
when bond breaks energy goes to the kinetic energy and potential
energy in other springs. Both are tracked.

> Hello,

> I am working with clumps composed of spheres. The sphere-sphere contacts are cohesive and implemented through the law Law2_ScGeom6D_CohFrictPhys_CohesionMoment. All contacts are initially cohesive and once broken they remain broken.  The breaking of bonds dissipates energy (the energy stored in the elastic spring which breaks). 
> 
> Similarly to the tracking of plastic dissipation (O.energy['shearDissip']), is it possible to track the dissipation because of bond breaking or is it already tracked somewhere ? If not can I rely on O.energy.total() to calculate the bond breaking dissipation as the difference between the total energy computed by Yade and the work of external force imposed to the system ?
