O.resetTime()

Hi Daniela,

I have never used O.resetTime function, and I do not know whether it
works properly in yade.
For example, you can workaround it, using another variable, which will
calculate the number of iteration after your specific event occurs.

I used the checkUnbalanced and as it was satisfied I used the resetTime. I noticed that, when I call another function using PyRunner and write print O.iter for example, then I still have the old value.

Hi,

actually after the particles are stable I start an interaction between them and a body. For this interaction I define a PyRunner with a virtPeriod = delta_t. But I realize that by using O.resetTime this function will just be called when the simulation time is bigger then at the time it was reseted. Maybe someone knows how to deal with that. Or is there maybe really a problem with O.resetTime?

Thansk again for the help.
Regards, Daniela

If you add a new periodic engine in the simulation at time T, it will be
called immediatly at time T+dt.
Why do you need to reset time?
