[Question #703892]: how to change the properties of the material on the boundary conditions

 

New question #703892 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/703892

Hello,

I'm using the uniax.py [1] example to perform some tensile simulation with minor modifications and I would like to ask how to change the material proprietaries only on the boundary layers (i.e on posIds and negIds)? I want to make the Poisson ratio there equal to zero to avoid any deformation.

here is my code:

# -*- 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}')

readParamsFromTable(noTableOk=True, # unknownOk=True,
	young=24e9,
	poisson=.2,

	sigmaT=3.5e6,
	frictionAngle=atan(0.8),
	epsCrackOnset=1e-4,
	relDuctility=30,

	intRadius=1.5,
	dtSafety=.8,
	damping=0.4,
	strainRateTension=.05,
	strainRateCompression=.5,
	setSpeeds=True,
	# 1=tension, 2=compression (ANDed; 3=both)
	doModes=1,

	specimenLength=.1e-5,
	sphereRadius=3.5e-8,

	# isotropic confinement (should be negative)
	isoPrestress=0,
)
