[Question #671012]: Crushing test for a clumps

 

New question #671012 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/671012

Hi guys,

I wrote up a script for a crushing test based on agglomeration method for a particle. Now, I have done some CT scan of some particles and made some approximate clumps from them. I have all the necessary information such as coordination and radius of spheres. Now, I want to replace my clumps in the scripts and get the crushing result for each clump but I confused how can modify my model because the script is working on particle changes.

I would be most grateful if you could inform me your feedback about it.

Cheers
