[Question #679311]: 2D simulation with clump

 

New question #679311 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/679311

Hello, everyone. Now I want to do 2D DEM simulation with clumps in periodic boundary condition. But some confusions exits. Why when I run the simulation, the interactions between the constituent balls in clumps are also active. And the PeriTriaxController() failed. Anyone can help me. Many thanks in advance.
The following are my codes.
from yade import pack, qt, plot
