There is a model tunneling machine, which moves in the surrounding solid medium (such as a rock massive). Model feature is that the surface of the cylindrical shell had movers (shaped like a threaded outer surface). In the process of modeling is necessary to clarify the following: in the real condition  by applying only  torque to the cylindrical shell (and thus by the rotation of the shell) interact with the surrounding rock massive and movers automatically appear the movement forward of the cylindrical shell (process is similar to tightening the bolt into the nut when the bolt applied torque, but the bolt while still moving forward in the interaction of its thread and thread the nut). The question is: in the simulation of the process in the program YADE while rotating shell and interaction between the movers and rock massive  the movement forward is  appear automaticly? Can be paraphrased as follows: whether the simulated environment in interaction with imported into the model objects to move them?
