New question #657943 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/657943

HI guys,

I have written up a script to simulate compression test for sand particles. But I faced some questions:

1-  I can not plot he sigma result and when I run my model just I can see a blank graph.

2- I really lost my way, because I need to get result based on Load per displacement  (mm)

3- How can I check my specimens size in the script? diameter and height of the sample?


​I would be most grateful if you could inform me your feedback.

Thank you in advance for all your kind attention.

Yours truly,
HeSam

Here is my script:

#### manage interaction detection factor during the first timestep and then set default interaction range ((cf. A DEM model for soft and hard rock, Scholtes & Donze, JMPS 2013))
