Re: [Question #689542]: definition of the recorded data in Generic recorder
Question #689542 on Yade changed:

Status: Open => Answered
Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
well, then we need to dive into the source code :-)
(1,2)
normalStress is a name of spheresNormalStressVec variable [1]
spheresNormalStressVec is filled with stress variable [2] defined two lines above as bodyStates[b->getId()].normStress
bodyStates are filled with stress using getStressForEachBody. In that function [4], normalStress is computed as:
sum_interactionsOfTheBody 1/A * n.fN * n
Similarly for shearStress.
So no, it is not like bodyStressTensors command (although I cannot say quickly how much it will differ, you can test yourself)
if you are interested in the bodyStressTensors results, have a look at
"bstresses" export of VTKExporter [5]
(2,3)
forceVec ... spheresForceVec variable [6], filled with f variable [7,8]
So yes, it is overall force on the body (same as python O.forcec.f(id) )
torque is overall torque (or moment) applied on the body (O.forces.t(id) ).
E.g. for sphere-sphere contact it is computed as a sum form interactions contribution, roughly something like shearForce.cross(radius), so "length" is radius.
cheers
