Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hello,
thanks for more information.
If I got it correctly, there are several approaches, depending on your actual needs. Basically all of them are consists of:
1) getting all forces and contact points (action points of the forces)
2) do some postprocessing (averaging, smoothing, ...)
1) must be done in Yade, 2) may be done in the Yade script or somehow
externally from saved data.
I **personally** would save the raw data from Yade and do external postprocessing (probably using Python or some dedicated tool).
This way, you can do the postprocessing from the same data with different parameters / methods.
The postprocessing may be both in space and time sense, summing /
averaging / smoothing / ... , really many options, depending what you
want..
cheers
Jan
