pack hexanet

Hi,

There is only radii of spheres and gap between them [1].
You can have a look at examples as well [2] and [3].

Hi anton,

I use HEXANET in order to create a hexagonal mesh
these parameters are the following:

def hexaNet( radius, cornerCoord=[0,0,0], xLength=1., yLength=0.5, mos=0.08,
a=0.04, b=0.04, startAtCorner=True, isSymmetric=False, **kw ):

And I'm trying to understand the parameter mos.

Anna

Hi,
I have solve my problem.

Anna

Hi Anna,

'mos' is the mesh opening size for the hexagonal mesh which is basically the
opening width of the hexagon, not the hight. So the value is usually 0.06,
0.08 or 0.1[m] if you look at the double twist net witch Maccaferri provides.

Cheers

Klaus

Hey there! As an automated bot, I've searched through some related threads and put together a summary for your reference. Feel free to click on the links below for more information.

Title: "Creating a pack with Nc more than 6 "
The user is struggling with achieving a desired density of Nc=5.23 in their direct shear test, considering non-spherical particles, near neighbor contacts, and seeking advice on the appropriate material to simulate. They wonder if compacting clumps beforehand will lead to a higher Nc value than starting from a clump cloud. Using more members per clump will result in more contacts, but using lower friction during consolidation can achieve a denser packing.

Title: "randomDensePack"
The user seeks clarification on using 'spheresInCell' in a code for simulating 1000 spheres within a box. Jan explains that 'spheresInCell' determines the number of spheres in a periodic cell, and when this is finished, the desired shape (a cube in this case) is cut from it. The user asks about defining the size of the periodic cell and needing periodic boundary conditions. They also ask if using the finest periodic cell will result in a more realistic model. Jan responds that they don't need periodic boundary conditions in their actual simulation, and that they define particle size and the number of particles in the cell to create the cell. For simulations with fewer than 5000 particles, randomDensePack can be used without periodic conditions. However, for larger simulations, using a periodic cell with a smaller number of particles (e.g., 3000) and extending it to fill the space occupied by the larger number of particles is more efficient.

Title: "What are the package necessary for the generator (F9) and the 3D view (F11)"
The user encountered problems with Yade on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS due to issues with F9, F10, and F11 commands. Jan suggested using yade.qt.Generator() instead of shortcuts, checking for command overwriting, and ensuring proper X rendering. The user resolved the problem by deleting the content of ~/.Xauthority file in the terminal when using the computer as a laptop and is now able to run Yade without issues.

Title: "I am trying to simulate uniaxial compression with DEM on yade. I would like to know how to introduce the hertz mindlin contact model to my model. Also, I need the model to be parallel bonded model, how do I do that in the python script?"
Anay is struggling with a uniaxial compression test on a cylinder using the Hertz Mindlin contact model with bonded concrete in Yade. They've reached out to Robert Caulk for help with issues related to checking the number of elements in the geometry and saving simulations to a specific directory. Anay wants to implement the parallel bond particle model, needs guidance on how to do so, and wants to verify which contact model and parameters Yade is using in their code. They've found that using the terminal command 'O.save('nameOfState.yade.gz')' helps with saving simulation states.

Title: "fill a box with polyhedra with size distribution (psdSizes, psdCumm )"
The user inquired about generating clouds for polyhedra in makeCloud, and received advice on using the sphere cloud feature to create a list of spheres that can be used as a basis for placing polyhedra. The user was guided through the process of converting a sphere into a polyhedron and appending it to the O.bodies list.

Title: "Can YADE generate specific number of polyhedral particles in a packing?"
The user requested guidance on using YADE for simulating gravity deposition with polyhedral particles of specific sizes, Jan confirmed the possibility by replacing spherical makeClouds with polyhedral particles. Jan provided a simple implementation involving creating a sphere pack, making a cloud from it, and then creating a polyhedron at each position.

Title: "Visualise forcechain in paraview"
Leonard encounters issues visualizing a force chain in ParaView with tube sizes scaled by force magnitude despite Karol's suggestions. Karol recommends selecting 'forceN' from the drop-down list in the 'tube' filter settings for desired results, as Paraview usually performs this automatically. Leonard updates to v5.10.1 but still faces the same problem, unsure if it's due to his ParaView settings or the example.vtk file. Karol suggests saving and uploading the Paraview state file to help diagnose the issue.
