[Question #683776]: Some Problems about Direct Shear Test

 

New question #683776 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/683776

Hello, everyone. I'm trying to simulate the direct shear process with the following program[1]. Before running the script, I generated particles in another script. But when I run the following script, the system can't find the particles. But when I input the commands of the script sentence by sentence in the Yade program (before importing the particles), I can import the particles normally. Is there someone can tell me where the problem is?
[1]the script:
