Hi, All,
I want to simulate a triaxial test of two materials, firstly, I want to do isotropic compression without friction and rolling resistance (set to zero ) for  dense sample, and then I want to add the parameters  of friction and rolling resistance  in the following simulation. Although I refer to the documents or many  discussion here, I still have several doubts and questions when simulating:

1) In CohFrictPhys[2],  there is a parameter maxRollPl,  and there is  etaRoll in CohFrictMat[3],  what is the difference, in my opinion, etaRoll represents rolling friction of material and  maxRollPl represents the rolling friction of interactions, and maxRollPl = max(etaRoll of mat1,etaRoll of mat2), is it right?

2)In Ip2_CohFrictMat_CohFrictMat_CohFrictPhys[1],  the frictAngle between two materials can be defined by MatchMaker ,  but some other parameters of CohFrictPhys[2] seems  not to have this functions,  such as the maxRollPl .  The materials have different etaRoll values, so I want to customize the maxetaRoll at the interaction of different materials, is it possible?

3. For adding new properties,  I know that i should loop the existing interactions and  change the material properties. maybe I can use following method  to get it?, some pseudo code as following:
#modify the interaction 
for i in O.interactions:
    if O.bodies[i.id1].mat==mat1 and O.bodies[i.id2].mat==mat1 #between  material 1
    i.phys.maxRollPl=0.1
    else if O.bodies[i.id1].mat==mat2 and O.bodies[i.id2].mat==mat2 #between  material 2
    i.phys.maxRollPl=0.2
    else  #between two different materials 
    i.phys.maxRollPl=0.3
#modify the materials 
O.materials[0].etaRoll=0.1
O.materials[1].etaRoll=0.2
    However, how  I deal with the new interaction with defining a maxRollPl instead of default.
