Hi,

Yade bodies movements can be directly controlled through their
velocities - as in real world. Assuming that "plate" corresponds to the
body you want to control (as in [1]), just type

plate.state.vel = theVectorYouWant

When you want to change the movement of plate, just change
plate.state.vel.

If you want this change to occur under given conditions (that will be
fullfilled at a time you do not know yet), you may include a "PyRunner"
[2] engine that will periodically check if the wanted condition is
fulfilled, and act adequately when this is the case. The Oedometric test
example of [1] includes example of PyRunner use, as Gravity deposition
[3] (the one of Gravity deposition being more simple to understand)
