Hello!
I am trying to simulate a plate being installed in sand. For that, I imported a 3d mesh of the plate with "gtsPFacet". I then set walls for the sample in x and y directions while periodic boundary conditions on z. I saw on the forum that it can be done by setting O.cell.setBox on x and y directions to large values.
The code for yade and the mesh file are in the following link:

My questions are:

1. If I would like to have a plate that is not hollow inside, should I provide the mesh of the interior of the plate? I mean not just 
just the external geometry or am I wrong?

2. Is it okay how I simulated periodic boundary conditions on the z dimension or am I missing something?

If you have any other suggestions or comments please let me know.
Thank you a lot!
Alice
