Yade

On the interaction range of the JCFPm

Asked by jasperb

Hey

I found in [Scholtes2012] that the interaction range coefficient is already implemented in YADE which achieves the high ratio of tensile strength to compression strength. But I searched in the document and found nothing related to this keyword"interaction range". And I also check engines connected with JCFPM but found no concerned attributes. Could you please hhelp me with it?
Thanks!

Jasper

Hello,

Interaction range is not handled by JCFpm, it is handled by the collider [1] and the interaction detection [2]. Here is an example usage [3].

Cheers,

Robert
