Question #702241 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/702241

Description changed to:
How do I export a VTK file of a cut strip in a triaxial compression test? I have seen images of shear bands in the URL [1], but I don't know how to form such VTK files.
I applied the following code to generate the VTK file. But it does not show the perfect cut strip image as in [1]. Where am I going wrong, please?
