Hi,

I performed a uniaxial compression of a packing created using regularOrtho (https://yade-dem.org/doc/yade.pack.html?highlight=pack#yade.pack.regularOrtho). But this boned particle model explodes when it was compressed at a certain time. Honestly, I intend to simulate crack initiation and propagation of BPM under compression loads. 
Can you tell me what happed to my model ? Here is a sgement of my code:
Thanks in advance.
Xavier
