New question #692092 on Yade:

Hello,

I have run the periodicSandPile.py example in https://gitlab.com/yade-dev/trunk/-/blob/master/examples/PeriodicBoundaries/periodicSandPile.py, which uses the box instead of wall or facet to be the plate containing the spheres. I am curious about why Bruno choosing box instead of wall or facet, so I try to using the wall to see if it can also work. However, after commenting the O.bodies.append(box) and adding O.bodies.append(wall), and changing Bo1_Box_Aabb() and Ig2_Box_Sphere_ScGeom() to Bo1_Wall_Aabb() and Ig2_Wall_Sphere_ScGeom(), the spheres will not move when running the code. Would you please tell me the reason? Thank you!

The code after changing box to wall is shown as follows:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

O.materials.append(FrictMat(density=1,young=1e5,poisson=0.3,frictionAngle=radians(30),label='boxMat'))
#lowBox = box( center=(length/2.0,height-thickness/2.0,width/2.0), extents=(length*1000.0,thickness/2.0,width*1000.0) ,fixed=True,wire=False)
