a cylinder as a single body

Hi Behzad,

you have more options:

1) use O.bodies.appedClumped(facets) to create a clump, which you can aplly
force to. Currently it does not work with facets, but it should not be
difficult to make it work with non-spherical shapes. I don't have time now
to work on it..

2) use normal bodies and use RotationEngine on them, each (or each a few)
time step checking forces on individual facets and apdate angular velocity
according to the value (i.e. creating PyRunner doing the same as
NewtonIntegrator :-)

I like no 1 most (if it works), you can ask some other developers for the
help :-)

cheers

Hey Jan,

Yeah, no.1 seems a good way to work on. The facet bodies, I think must be set as dynamic bodies, though.

Anyway, thanks for the answer. I'll work on it.

cheers,
Behzad

I am not sure where the problem is, after appendClumped, the values of
clump.members (i.e. relative position and orientation of clump members are
NaNs..). Setting mass and inertia to facets does not help

Probably nobody needed such feature before, but definitely it may be
considered as a bug, feel free to report it, at least we would not forget
to fix it :-)

cheers

How can I find appendClumped function to modify it?

pyBodyContainer::appendClump
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~yade-pkg/yade/git-trunk/view/head:/py/wrapper/yadeWrapper.cpp#L135
calling pyBodyContainer::clump
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~yade-pkg/yade/git-trunk/view/head:/py/wrapper/yadeWrapper.cpp#L116
calling Clump::add and Clump::updateProperties (see core/Clump.*pp). I
guess the problem is in the Clump methods..

Hi,

updateProperties function assumes, that clump members are spheres. it will not work for facets atm ...

regards,

christian

@Christian: Ok, I see.. the correction for non-spherical particles should
not be too difficult

@Behzad: how much is it urgent for you?

I need to have the modifications(or another way to deal with this problem) in two weeks.

Ok, I will have a look during the weekend, is it ok?

Sure! Thanks.

Hi Behzad,
the non-spherical clumps should be possible to use in latest trunk version
(r3576). I added an example, in principle doing exactly what you want,
yade/examples/test/clump-facet.py
cheers

Hi Jan,

yes, I tried it and it does what I wanted. Thank you!

cheers,
Behzad

Hey Jan,

Can I share some files with you?
I'm importing two bodies as stl files in YADE and I define them as clumps. They're having unrealistic interactions.

Hi Behzad,
sure, you can also (preferably) place the files somewhere on the web such
that others can download them and help, too.
cheers
