[Question #706072]: Simple shear with oedometric loading

Hi, I am new to yade. plz help me removing the following error. 

My problem description- It is basically a simple shear problem. Firstly isometric compression is done to prepare the sample by compacting. Periodic boundary conditions were used. Then a plate in the form of wall is applied at the top and normal loading is applied by velocity gradient tensor. After it reaches the defined value then shear is applied by distorting the cell. I know i am doing some mistake but unable to catch it up. please help me in finding the same. Script is attacted.

Error- python3.10: ./pkg/common/InsertionSortCollider.cpp:779: bool yade::InsertionSortCollider::spatialOverlapPeri(yade::Body::id_t, yade::Body::id_t, yade::Scene*, yade::Vector3i&) const: Assertion `maxima[3 * id2 + axis] - minima[3 * id2 + axis] < .99 * dim' failed.

NOTE: Error mainly comes after isometric compression

Thank you in advance.
