How to use the tessalation tools of the flowEngine without solving a fluid problem ?

Asked by Antoine Wautier

Hi,

I would like to define the pore network of a sphere assembly in YADE (pore locations and constriction sizes). In order to do so, I can use some of the methods of flowEngine (getConstrictionsFull(), getVertices(id)).
However, I didn't figure out how to triangulate my sample and get the constrictions without solving a fluid problem with 0 pressure boundary conditions.

Is it possible to achieve the definition of the pore network without using flowEngine ?

Thank you very much for your help in advance

Antoine

Hi Antoine,

You can call the functions getConstrictionsFull() and getVertices(id) at any time in your script (i.e. out of the O.engines list), just put before:

flow=flowEngine()
flow.emulateAction()

then for instance:
flow.getConstrictionsFull()

Best,
Luc
