Maybe you can try to use the following function:
execfile('fileName.py')

Hi Chiara,

Thanks for your quick reply. But my ultimate goal is to wrap a simulation to a class. Something like:

class triaxialTest():
   def __init__(self):
      self.__O=O
      self.__sp=pack.SpherePack()
      self.__sp.toSimulation()
      self.__stress=[]

   def isoConsolidation(self,pressure):
      self.__O.engines = []
      self.__O.run()
      self.__O.wait()
      self.__stress=[]

   def applyStrain(self, strain):
      self.__O.engines=[]
      self.__O.run()
      self.__O.wait()
      self.__stress=[]

   def getStress(self):
      return self.__stress

   ......

To achieve this, I need to know how these variables (e.g. O) are loaded and from which library.

"python yade" works perfectly.
Did you have a look at the yade executable itslef? It is a python script, and I think it will answer most of your questions.

Hi,

I made the yade library callable from python and now I can run a script using `python test.py`. The script for a biaxial test (first isotropic consolidation then undrained shear) is like this:

from yade.wrapper import *
from yade import *
from yade import pack,plot,utils
from miniEigen import Matrix3

O=Omega()
O.materials.append(FrictMat(young=100e6,poisson=.3,frictionAngle=.5,density=2600))

sp = pack.SpherePack()
sp.makeCloud(minCorner=(0,0,0),maxCorner=(3,3,0),rMean=0.03,rRelFuzz=.25,periodic=True,seed=12345)
sp.toSimulation()
O.cell.hSize = Matrix3(3,0,0, 0,3,0, 0,0,1)
print len(O.bodies)
for p in O.bodies:
   p.state.blockedDOFs = 'zXY'#['z','rx','ry']

#plot.plots={'ey':('sdev',),'sp':('sdev',),'ey_':('ratio',)}
def saveAddData():
   plot.addData(
      stress_xx = biax.stress[0],
      stress_yy = biax.stress[1],
      stress_zz = biax.stress[2],
      strain_xx = biax.strain[0],
      strain_yy = biax.strain[1]
   )
# print O.cell.hSize

O.dt = .5*utils.PWaveTimeStep()

O.engines = [
   ForceResetter(),
   InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb()]), # detect new collisions
   InteractionLoop(
      [Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_Dem3DofGeom()],
      [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys()],
      [Law2_Dem3DofGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack()]
   ),
   Peri3dController(
      goal=(-5.e4,-5.e4,0,0,0,0),
      stressMask=3,
      nSteps=20000,
      doneHook='print "Consolidation finished."; O.pause()',
      maxStrain=.5,
      label='biax'
   ),
   NewtonIntegrator()
]
O.run()
O.wait()

#O.materials.append(FrictMat(young=100e6,poisson=1.,frictionAngle=.5,density=2600))
O.engines = [
   ForceResetter(),
   InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb()]), # detect new collisions
   InteractionLoop(
      [Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_Dem3DofGeom()],
      [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys()],
      [Law2_Dem3DofGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack()]
   ),
   Peri3dController(
      goal=(2.e-2,-2.e-2,0,0,0,0),
      stressMask=0,
      nSteps=50000,
      doneHook='print "Shear finished."; O.pause()',
      maxStrain=.5,
      label='biax'
   ),
   NewtonIntegrator(),
   PyRunner(command='saveAddData()',iterPeriod=500)
]
O.run(); O.wait()
plot.saveDataTxt('result.txt',vars=('stress_xx','stress_yy','stress_zz','strain_xx','strain_yy'))
O.exitNoBacktrace()

This works. Now I want to wrap it to a class named simDEM. I wrote like this:

from yade.wrapper import *
from yade import *
from yade import pack,plot,utils
from miniEigen import Matrix3

class simDEM(object):
   def __init__(self):
      self.__O=Omega()
      self.__O.materials.append(FrictMat(young=1.e8,poisson=.3,frictionAngle=.5,density=2600))
      self.__sp=pack.SpherePack()
      self.__sp.makeCloud(minCorner=(0,0,0),maxCorner=(3,3,0),rMean=.03,rRelFuzz=.25,periodic=True,seed=12345)
      self.__sp.toSimulation()
      self.__O.cell.hSize=Matrix3(3,0,0, 0,3,0, 0,0,1)
      for p in self.__O.bodies:
         p.state.blockedDOFs='zXY'
      self.__O.dt=.5*utils.PWaveTimeStep()

   def countParticle(self):
      return len(self.__O.bodies)

   def saveAddData(self):
      plot.addData(
         stress_xx = biax.stress[0],
         stress_yy = biax.stress[1],
         stress_zz = biax.stress[2],
         strain_xx = biax.strain[0],
         strain_yy = biax.strain[1]
      )

   def consolidation(self, stress=-5.e4):
      self.__O.eigines=[
         ForceResetter(),
         InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb()]),
         InteractionLoop(
            [Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_Dem3DofGeom()],
            [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys()],
            [Law2_Dem3DofGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack()]
         ),
         Peri3dController(
            goal=(stress,stress,0,0,0,0),
            stressMask=3,
            nSteps=20000,
            doneHook='print "Consolidation finished!"; self.__O.pause()',
            maxStrain=.5,
            label='biax'
         ),
         NewtonIntegrator()
      ]
      self.__O.run(20000,True)

   def shear(self, strain=-1.e-2):
      self.__O.eigines=[
         ForceResetter(),
         InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb()]),
         InteractionLoop(
            [Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_Dem3DofGeom()],
            [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys()],
            [Law2_Dem3DofGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack()]
         ),
         Peri3dController(
            goal=(-1.*strain,strain,0,0,0,0),
            stressMask=0,
            nSteps=50000,
            doneHook='print "Shear finished!"; self.__O.pause()',
            maxStrain=.5,
            label='biax'
         ),
         NewtonIntegrator(),
         PyRunner(command='self.saveAddData()',iterPeriod=500)
      ]
      self.__O.run(50000,True)

   def outputResult(self):
      plot.saveDataTxt(
         'result.txt',
         vars=('stress_xx','stress_yy','stress_zz','strain_xx','strain_yy')
      )

   def finalization(self):
      self.__O.exitNoBacktrace()

This doesn't work smoothly within the function consolidation. But it's very close to what I want. I hope anyone who's more familiar with the code can help me to modify it. Below is what I got:

$ python
>>> from multiscaleDEM import simDEM
>>> a = simDEM()
>>> a.countParticle()
1342
>>> a.consolidation() # no response, doneHook not executed!
>>> a.shear() # no response, doneHook not executed! Neither PyRunner()
>>> a.outputResult()
Error! vars=('stress_xx','stress_yy','stress_zz','strain_xx','strain_yy')
            plot.py in saveDataTxt for i in range(len(data[vars[0]])):
            KeyError: 'stress_xx'

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

Hi ceguo,
Did you progress on your problem? For me it was not clear if the last error was due to the initial wrapping question or just to a command that would fail even in a standard script (guessing the latest).
Note the typo:
self.__O.eigines=[

Hi Chareyre,

Sorry for the delayed reply. I'm just back from the Chinese New Year Holiday.
After I corrected the typo, there is error when I executed `a.consolidation()` instead of without response:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'Omega' is not defined

It seems there is problem within the engine (especially in `Peri3dController` because doneHook and PyRunner call other functions). So can I run a compression/shear test without using the engine? e.g. one command by one command...

Hi Ning,

I tried something similar some time ago and somehow I succeeded, but I
dont remember how exactly :-) could you please send me your script(s) so
I can try to find the problem?

In my case it was something like Omega was in some file without
yade.wrapper which resulted in this type of error..

Peri3dController has doneHook set to O.pause() by default in r3011, so
you can try the script with none doneHooke specified, let us know if it
hepled.

Hi Ning,

try r3015, NameError should not appear..

Thanks Jan,

r3015 solves the problem of NameError.
Another thing is how can we export the results stored in `biax` in this case, as I find we cannot use PyRunner to execute saveAddData(). Or how can we get stress, strain, fabric tensors which may be used further in the simulation?

Regards,
Ning

Thanks Jan Stránský, that solved my question.

It works, apparently. ;)
