Hello everyone! 

I'm trying to simulate a shear teste using yade. I want to track the forces in the shear band. For this I thought I could position a plan in the middle of my sample and measure the forces in this plan. However when I put this plan in the simulation it interacts with the spheres. In the manual there is 'sense' that allows me to set interactions in negative side, positive side or both sides of the plan (utils.wall) but it doesn't gives me the option of interactions in none. 
My question is if there is a manner to measure the forces in a virtual plane in the middle of my sample. Putting a plan (utils.wall) is an option? If yes, is it possible to set this plan so that it doesn't interacts with my spheres? 

Thanks a lot.
