Question #258401 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/258401

    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hi Luis,

yes, if your input young is supposed to be in [Pa] and dimensions in [m],
than resulting force is in [N] (forces) or [Nm] (torques).

Could you please describe a bit some more details about your experiment and
simulations? We can then have clearer idea about the differences and the
source of this "mistake".

cheers
Jan

> All input units in simulation are:

> density #kg/m3
> bodies and spheres dimensions are in meters

> The results are in order of 25000000 (max value), but from the experiments
> (I've made) the results are close to 250 N (max value).
> Is this result in N and my simulation completely wrong, or is there some
