Hello,


I am testing the oedometer test program (see below) and I have a few basic questions of understanding:

1- "while 1:" (see *****1*****): what is exactly the condition "1" ?? what does this instruction mean ??

2- How do you control exactly the order of the different processes: 
A-making the packing first by making the particles grow
B- then "oedemeter section, check bulk modulus
C- then starting oedemeter simulation
with O.run(200,1) (on last line) you are supposed to read all the script before the line 200 times so redo the
 previous processes (A and B) ?? which you don't want.

Thank you for your enlightements,

Fr.

## The DEM-PFV is applied here to 1D consolidation (oedometer test). The example includes the determination of oedometer modulus Ee and permeability K.
## The 1D consolidation is simulated as a coupled problem and the analytical solution corresponding to the abovementionned Ee and K is used for comparison.
## See triax-tutorial/script-session1.py for more detailed explanations of the packing generation procedure.
