Hi everybody,

thanks again for the amazing support that you provide on this platform.

I would like to ask for some suggestions about a project I'm working on. I'm trying to replicate a real-life compaction process in a cylindrical cavity, and I would like to stop the compaction when some specific normal strain value is reached. I am trying to build an actual cylinder to which impose a certain velocity to, and to stop its path towards the sample when a fixed strain is registered upon the contact surface.
The problem is that I am having difficulties in finding an appropriate way to measure the interaction between the particle and the pressing object's surface, in order to define the stopping condition for the compaction process.
Until now I was using the uniax.py example from GitHub, but its execution is way too demanding for the number of particles I'm wishing to simulate.
Any suggestion about which strategy would best fit my purpose?

Thank you very much for your help!

With best regards,

Giovanni Lorenzon
