Robert Caulk proposed the following answer:
Hello Giovanni,

facetCylinder creates a cylindrical geometry in yade composed of facets
and returns a list of body ids [1]. The body forces method takes a
single body id and returns the traction force on that body [2]. In other
words, you will need to index into the facetCylinder list and pull a
single bodyId out for use with the body forces method, which will return
the traction on the body. If you want to extract a component of the
traction you can simply dot it by the unit vector of interest.

Best,

Robert
