InteractionLocator.macroAroundPt module

Hi Rinaldi,

as I see it, the script does not work, because (as error says) _eudoxos
is not defined. Try to use eudoxos instead (without underscore).
Hopefully you will be successfull.

If you have any other problem, do not hesitate to ask on this forum
Good luck
Jan

The alternative solution, I think, would be that you need to import "_eudoxos" with underscore, instead of "eudoxos" without underscore.

What if you type "from yade import _eudoxos" at the beginning of the script ?

In fact (it's clear now that I do not know python very well...), I think you should consider http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html and the only sentence where there is "underscore" word.

Before more advised answers, you could maybe give a look on the web about "underscore python modules" (second answer of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1301346/the-meaning-of-a-single-and-a-double-underscore-before-an-object-name-in-python ?)

Hello Giuseppe,
one solution is to add the line

from yade import _eudoxos

inside the function saveData() and not (or not only) outside.

def saveData():
    from yade import _eudoxos
    etc etc
    pointstress=_eudoxos.InteractionLocator.macroAroundPt((0.00001,0.00001,0.00001),0.00001,[-1])

This should solve your problem, don't know if finer solutions exist.

Emanuele

first of all thank you for your quick response!

if I use eudoxos without underscore I get the following:

Running script simpleShear.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yade-daily", line 183, in runScript
    execfile(script,globals())
  File "simpleShear.py", line 142
    pointstress=eudoxos.InteractionLocator.macroAroundPt((0.00001,0.00001,0.00001),0.00001,[-1])
   ^
IndentationError: unexpected indent
[[ ^L clears screen, ^U kills line. F12 controller, F11 3d view, F10 both, F9 generator, F8 plot. ]]

if add the line from yade import _eudoxos (as Emanuele Catalano suggests) I get :

Yade [1]: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    145
    146

TypeError: unbound method Boost.Python.function object must be called with InteractionLocator instance as first argument (got tuple instance instead)

Any ideas

This problem is plrobably not related to the eudoxos module:

   pointstress=eudoxos.InteractionLocator.macroAroundPt((0.00001,0.00001,0.00001),0.00001,[-1])
   ^
IndentationError: unexpected indent

Hi Rinaldi,

The problem is (as error message indicates) in indentation in your script.
Read some text about python indentation and try to correct it on the line
that causes the error. If you still get IndentationError, please send the
script in attachement so as we can help with the error localization and
correction :-)

now also if I use eudoxos without underscore I get the following:

Yade [1]: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    147

TypeError: unbound method Boost.Python.function object must be called with InteractionLocator instance as first argument (got tuple instance instead)

Hi Rinaldi,

the problem could be that you have no instance (existing object) of
InteractionLocator. Instead of line 145 try following:

locator = eudoxos.InteractionLocator()
pointstress =
locator.macroAroundPt((0.00001,0.00001,0.00001),0.00001,[-1])

Hi Strànsky ,

if I do so I get the following:

Yade [1]: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last)

/usr/lib/yade-daily/py/yade/__init__.pyc in <module>()
----> 1
      2
      3
      4
      5

/usr/lib/yade-daily/py/yade/__init__.pyc in saveData()
    142 damping=contactLaw.normDampDissip # viscous damping
    143
--> 144 locator = eudoxos.InteractionLocator()
    145 pointstress = locator.macroAroundPt((0.00001,0.00001,0.00001),0.00001,[-1])
    146

RuntimeError: Zero interactions when constructing InteractionLocator!

The problem is, that at the time of InteractionLocator construction, you
have no interactions present in the simulation. Try to place the command
to the time, where you have some. Also attach your script, so we can
advise a correct location to place the line.

Rinaldi, you are maybe wasting your time trying to solve this problem.
macroAroundPoint is restricted to Dem3DofGeom and CpmPhys classes, which I doubt you are using for simulating sand.
The eudoxos module was developped by Vaclav Smilauer for specific needs during his PhD, it not something well suited in general.

Maybe consider other ways to get stress.
I would recommend https://yade-dem.org/doc/yade.utils.html#yade.utils.bodyStressTensors, which is based on rational solid mechanics and works for all types of interactions.
If you want local averages, you can always average on many particles.

hi Bruno Chareyre ,

I'm using Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_MindlinPhys and Law2_S cGeom_MindlinPhys _Mindlin.

So can't I use the module in my script?

Thanks,

Giuseppe

As said above, no.
It would make no sense anyway, since it uses a "contact surface" concept not consistent with Mindlin's contact.

I see.

many thanks!

Giuseppe
