[Question #683687]: Unable to save/reload FlowEngine scene

Hey Yade community,

I am unable to save and reload a FlowEngine based scene. I reproduce the error here using the save-then-reload.py [1] as an example for modifying oedometer.py [2]. 

___The error is as follows:___

>>
GS : j=0 p_moy=-nan dp_moy=-nan
GS iterations : 0
totalForce = 0 0 0
>>

This error suggests that the scene is improperly loaded, considering these GS errors are associated with flow.useSolver=0 [3] (meanwhile the script defines flow.useSolver=3). Further, I've tried re-defining all the flow properties, such as flow.useSolver=3, again after O.load() and before O.run(), but the error does not change. My first thought is that FlowBoundingSphere/Linsolv is not serializable, and therefore we lose all information from the solver class during save/reload. Any ideas?

____The MWE is as follows:____

from __future__ import print_function
from builtins import range
from yade import pack

num_spheres=1000# number of spheres
young=1e6
compFricDegree = 3 # initial contact friction during the confining phase
finalFricDegree = 30 # contact friction during the deviatoric loading
mn,mx=Vector3(0,0,0),Vector3(1,1,1) # corners of the initial packing

O.materials.append(FrictMat(young=young,poisson=0.5,frictionAngle=radians(compFricDegree),density=2600,label='spheres'))
O.materials.append(FrictMat(young=young,poisson=0.5,frictionAngle=0,density=0,label='walls'))
