    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
> Is there another way to measure volume of the cell that would show
that the cell is actually growing?

there are many ways, but basically equivalent to what O.cell.volume does
[1,2,3]. If O.cell.volume is not changing, then the volume of the cell
is not changing..

The shape is changing. Maybe it has similar effect as vibration
compaction - by changing the configuration, you let particles to relax,
find "more stress-free" positions.

Also I don't know Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_MindlinPhys() and
Law2_ScGeom_MindlinPhys_Mindlin(), maybe they can have effect on this?

cheers
Jan
