[Question #706151]: How to define and calculate impact force

Hello, I am a newcomer to Yade. I want to simulate the situation where a falling rock rolls off a slope and hits the baffle. I want to calculate the impact force. I know that there are the following categories for force:

1. External force - O.forces. permF (0) [2]

2. Total force - O.forces. f (0) [2]

3. Interaction force - O. interaction [0,1]. phys. normalForce [2],

I would like to know which impact force I should require when a falling stone collides with a baffle, and is the output impact force the average impact force? Because when the impact occurs, the maximum impact force should be calculated, and if it is the average impact force.
