Bodies with state fixed

Asked by Gayanindika

When I try to make particle with fixed state the following error appears. but it works with moving particles. Can anyone help me to get rid?

Yade [8]: O.bodies.append(utils.sphere(center=(0,0,2),radius=1,fixed=True))

I doubt fixed=False works better than fixed=True in 0.60, does it? Both
of them crash here.

See sphere documentation in 0.60:

Yade [4]: utils.sphere?
Definition: utils.sphere(center, radius, dynamic=True, wire=False,
color=None, highlight=False, material=-1, mask=1)

There is no "fixed" parameter, but "dynamic" instead. "Fixed" is in more
recent versions.
We will do our best to minimize such meaningless changes in the future...

Thanks Chareyre. For the rigid particle in bouncing spheres example, I used dynamic=False and it works.

Hey there! As an automated bot, I've found relevant threads that might be of interest to you. Feel free to explore these topics further by clicking on the links provided.

Title: "Cohfrictmat Spheres Dissappearing on Contact"
A user encountered issues with simulating forces in a three particle beam of ice using Yade's physics engine, causing particles to disappear upon starting the simulation. The problem was resolved by adding decimals to the parameters and the laws worked as expected.

Title: "convergence issue! using unbalancedForce()"
The user is having issues with their Yade simulation, which isn't converging despite adjusting micro parameters such as friction angle. They have tried different materials and configurations but still face problems. The user has now changed the material properties to cohesive ones, but this results in the sample exploding. A comment suggests that the stability of the simulation could be improved by using a fraction of the PWave informed time step.

Title: "utils.getStressAndTangent()"
The user lacks the 'getStressAndTangent' feature due to an outdated Yade version (1.07). They can upgrade their system, compile a newer version from source, or install yadedaily as alternatives.

Title: "Creating particles"
A user is having trouble creating particles in a bouncing spheres example with Yade 0.60 due to a SyntaxError when trying to create a second sphere. Jan suggests correcting the syntax by removing the braces and adding a comma.

Title: "Problem with angular velocity"
Jonathan faced issues with initializing angular velocity for non-spherical shapes in Yade on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server, Jan suggested using angMom instead of angVel and asked about versions used. Jonathan resolved the issue with Jan's suggestion.
