New question #661974 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/661974

Dear all,
I am trying to reproduce the compaction process of a granular material under oedometric conditions using yade-daily.
I have already implemented some code in python following the Oedometric test example and it works fine.
What I would like to do now is to use the contact law given in [1] to reproduce the compaction process up to high-density level.
My question is: is the contact law presented in [1] and [2] already implemented somewhere in the Yade source code? if so, how can I call it from my script? Does it apply also to packings with a given psd?
Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Best Regards,
Carlotta
