New question #697952 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/697952

There was no problem when I just simulated the triaxial test, but when I activated the FlowEngine, the particles moved out of the wall and the error Failed to triangulate body with id=104 ....
Can someone help with this problem? Thank you for your attention to this matter!
This is my code:
