Change wall's size in the middle of simulation

Hello Nguyen,
what version of Yade do you use? I tried to find the function in the
documentation, but it seems not to be there..

there is utils.aabbWalls function with oversizeFactor parameter, I would
guess you meant that one or it was renamed. In that case, It is not
possible to the parameter directly, as the function returns 6 new wall
objects. You can chage position of that walls manually.

cheers

Thanks Jan Stránský,
I use yade 1.00.
And yes it's utils.aabbWalls, my fault.
By mentioning "manually", I assume you meant modifying the XML file (the saved model)?

Hello Nguyen,

I meant either modify the XML file, or you can load the file into Yade and
modify it there, something like:

wall1 = O.bodies[someIndex]
wall1.shape.pos = Vector3(x,y,z)
# also for other 5 walls returned by aabbWalls function

cheers

Thank you it's clearer now, but for shape.pos, it's the position, what I wish to change is the size fo the wall.

I figured out I can change the overSize via Graphic Interface (yay!) by:
Inspect --> Bodies --> Shapes --> Extents.
So python code would be (according to your naming)
wall1.shape.extents=Vector3(x,y,z)
Great thanks Mr Jan Stránský.

Hello Nguyen,
sorry, I misunderstand the documentation, the function does not return
walls (as I assumed) but boxes, and for them you can do exactly what you
wrote in your last email :-)
cheers
