Dear Robert,

Sorry for the lack of information.
BTW, you can find herewith my script, as you requested:

	## TriaxialStressController will be used to control stress and strain. It controls particles size and plates positions.

	## Say x=1 if stess is controlled on x, else x=0. Same for for y and z, which are 1 or 0.
	## Then an integer uniquely defining the combination of all these tests is: mask = x*1 + y*2 + z*4
	## to put it differently, the mask is the integer whose binary representation is xyz, i.e.
	## "100" (1) means "x", "110" (3) means "x and y", "111" (7) means "x and y and z", etc.
