Question #404550 on Yade changed:

Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hi,

In addition to just use .yade save with O.save() and O.load(), you may
use the following method.


First, use the export.text() function [1] to export the generated particles as a list in a text file

Second, during "next simulation", use this text file through
ymport.text() [2] function: you need to run
O.bodies.append(ymport.text()) to actually import the particles in your
new simulation

You previously need to import the export and ymport modules to access these functions:
from yade import ymport,export


The history in terms of shear relative displacement and shear contact forces is lost with this method (which had never been an issue for me)
