Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
Hi Bruna,
You could always add a plane, get force, then reload the state before adding the plane and continue.
But overall it doesn't make much sense. The actual interactions in a sheared layer are unrelated to what you would get by forcing a plane in between (leading to huge forces since the plane will cut spheres randomly).

It needs more details to understand what you really have in mind. In fact there is non discontinuity of stress in a shear band, so you can as well use the stress exerted on the top boundary, it has to be the same.
Bruno
