New question #701061 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/701061

Hi, I am studying ‘soil structure interaction’ and meeting some questions again.

I have two scripts and they should run in sequence.

The first script is used to generate particles. The particles expand until the wallstress reach 90kPa.

The second script will load the result of the first script. I delete all the walls of the model and four walls were recreated. The front and back walls aren’t recreated and I don’t know if it is correct. All walls are fixed except the top one. I apply force on the top wall. The top wall may slope (such as right higher than left) when add the force. How do I control it to stay level the whole time when the program is running?

The version of ubuntu is 21.10

The first script:

Hope anyone can help with my question.
