[Question #636692]: soil-tire contact by FEM-DEM coupling

 

New question #636692 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/636692

Hi all,

I would like to analyze contact problems between soil and tire by applying the coupling between DEM, i.e. YADE, and FEM like Ref[1]. I think what I need is so-called surface coupling and volume coupling. I read the example scripts in Ref[1], but I couldn’t understand how to execute them.

Judging from the response in Q&A site of YADE, I think new documentation is not yet available on the coupling of YADE with FEM, except for the recent example using escrypt [2].  Does anyone know the recent status of development on coupling of DEM and FEM by adding simple python script?

Thanks, 

Ryota
