    Status: Answered => Open

Mahmoud Ashour is still having a problem:
I followed [2] to create the VTK output. But when I follow the steps in
[2] and I'm facing the problem that  I get a black output screen. I
can't see the spheres and no VTK files are created. here is the code
(the code is uniax code from concrete example and it was working fine
before adding the VTKExporter):

# -*- encoding=utf-8 -*-
from __future__ import division
from __future__ import print_function

from future import standard_library
standard_library.install_aliases()
from yade import plot,pack,timing
import time, sys, os, copy

#import matplotlib
#matplotlib.rc('text',usetex=True)
#matplotlib.rc('text.latex',preamble=r'\usepackage{concrete}\usepackage{euler}')


"""
A fairly complex script performing uniaxial tension-compression test on hyperboloid-shaped specimen.

Most parameters of the model (and of the setup) can be read from table
using yade-multi.

After the simulation setup, tension loading is run and stresses are periodically saved for plotting
as well as checked for getting below the maximum value so far. This indicates failure (see stopIfDamaged
function). After failure in tension, the original setup is loaded anew and the sense of loading reversed.
After failure in compression, strain-stress curves are saved via plot.saveGnuplot and we exit,
giving some useful information like peak stresses in tension/compression.

Running this script for the first time can take long time, as the specimen is prepared using triaxial
compression. Next time, however, an attempt is made to load previously-generated packing 
(from /tmp/triaxPackCache.sqlite) and this expensive procedure is avoided.

The specimen length can be specified, its diameter is half of the length and skirt of the hyperboloid is 
4/5 of the width.

The particle size is constant and can be specified using the
sphereRadius parameter.

The 3d display has displacement scaling applied, so that the fracture looks more spectacular. The scale
is 1000 for tension and 100 for compression.
