calculate the mass of the particles

Hello,

I have tried your code, but the spheres are larger than the cylinders and therefore no spheres are deposited inside any cylinder and their mass is zero.
Please update the code such that it results in something meaningful.

Otherwise the task is easy, something like:
###
cyl1 = pack.inCylinder(...) # [1], predicate for a cylinder
mass = 0.0
for b in O.bodies:
   if cyl1(b.state.pos): # b is inside cyl1
      mass += b.state.mass
###

or a one-liner :-)
mass = sum(b.state.mass for b in O.bodies if cyl1(b.state.pos))

I am new to Yade and in the available documents there is not much information about it.

Thanks for your help Jan !!

> I am new to Yade and in the available documents there is not much information about it.

Yade uses Python as an user interface. In python, you have access to almost any data in the simulation (tutorial [1] and user's manual [2] is full of this).
So you have access to positions of all particles, then it is easy to check if they are in a cylinder or not and sum mass of those which are. There are several options e.g.
###
def isBodyInCylinder(body,center,radius):
   d = body.state.pos - center # vector between cylinder center and particle center
   d[2] = 0 # only xy components are relevant
   distance = d.norm() # horizontal distance
   return distance < radius # particle is inside, if distance < raidus
def masses():
   mass1 = mass2 = 0.0 # intially zero
   center1 = Vector3(xp1,yp1,0) # center of 1st cylinder
   center2 = Vector3(-xp2,yp2,0) # center of 2nd cylinder
   for b in O.bodies: # test all particles
      if not isinstance(b.shape,Sphere): continue # skip non-spherical
      if isBodyInCylinder(b,center1,radius): # if a particle is inside 1st cylinder ...
         mass1 += b.state.mass # ... increase mass1 by the particle mass
      if isBodyInCylinder(b,center2,radius): # if a particle is inside 2nd cylinder ...
         mass2 += b.state.mass # ... increase mass2 by the particle mass
   return mass1,mass2 # return computed values
###

run your simulation until a point when it is considered finished. Stop it. Call
masses()
in yade interactive terminal. The returned value are the masses in the two cylinders. You can print it or do whatever you want:
##
mass1,mass2 = masses()
print(mass1,mass2)
totalMass = mass1 + mass2
...
##

> In the previous answer, you mentioned some supporting documents. You could attach them to me to consult them. They would be helpful to understand some functions that I need

sure, just forgot to add it last time, see below

> for which there is not much information on the web.

I don't understand this..
"for b in O.bodies:" is surely documented as well as that b.state.mass is the mass of the body and b.state.pos its center.
Definitely you can easily find information on the web how to do a sum or how to check if a point is inside a cylinder..
Of course Yade documentation does not describe exactly your scenario.
BUT, Yade is open source and you are free (and welcome actually) to add such example or improve the documentation (or its part) if you find it not good! :-)

Jan !! Help...

It seemed an easy function to use, but despite defining the function that stops the simulation in relation to the reduction of force, the simulation continues without showing me the results.

I included the following code in the simulation

####
O.engines=[
 ForceResetter(),
 InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb(),
    Bo1_Facet_Aabb(),
    Bo1_Cylinder_Aabb(),
    Bo1_Wall_Aabb()

  [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys()],
  [Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack()]
 ),
 #GravityEngine(gravity=(0,0,-9.81)),
 NewtonIntegrator(gravity=(0,0,-9.81),damping=0.4),
 PyRunner(command="checkUnbalanced()"),
 PyRunner(command='isBodyInCylinder()'),
 PyRunner(command='masses()')
]
O.dt=PWaveTimeStep()

def checkUnbalanced():
 if unbalancedForce<0.05: O.pause()

def isBodyInCylinder(body,center,radius):

 d=body.state.pos-center
 d[2]=0
 distance=d.norm()
 return distance<radius

def masses():
 mass1=mass2=0.0
 center1=(xp1,yp1,0)
 center2=(-xp2,yp2,0)
 for b in O.bodies:
  print(mass1,mass2)
  if not isinstance(b.shape,Sphere): continue
  if isBodyInCylinder(b,center1,radius):
   mass1+=b.state.mass
  if isBodyInCylinder(b,center2,radius):
   mass2+=b.state.mass
  return mass1,mass2

###
According to what I understand, this function causes the simulation to stop when the equilibrium force of the particles is less than 0.05, but although the particles visually no longer interact, the simulation continues and in the script there is no result of mass.

Thanks for the documents, they were very necessary ... I hope that with the development of this project I can contribute something very interesting to the Yade community ...

It seems easy to use this software, but it has become an excellent professional challenge ...

thanks Jan!

use exatly one of periods (iterPeriod [3], virtPeriod [4] or realPeriod [5]) for PyRunner, otherwise it is not run.

> TypeError: isBodyInCylinder () takes exactly 3 arguments (0 give)

Dear Estefany,
Please keep in mind point 5 in [1].
Although Jan may keep replying the questions because he is super-nice, it's now clearly not about computing total mass.
It may be beneficial for you to step back maybe, and study python functionalities and error messages a bit, before diving again into Yade.
It's very confusing for someone to not distinguish what's python and what's Yade, and I smell it could be your case. :)
Regards
Bruno

Side note: consider indenting with tabs or four spaces (at least), most text editors can do that for you. It's much more readable.

[1] https://www.yade-dem.org/wiki/Howtoask

Hello,

1.
as the error says, isBodyInCylinder () takes exactly 3 arguments, but you gave 0 arguments..
3 arguments = 3 values inside "calling" brackets.

solution:
isBodyInCylinder is just an auxiliary function for masses() function, just do not call it from PyRunner (delete that PyRunner from the O.engines)

2.
I guess yes for this case. If to use iterPeriod, virtPeriod or realPeriod depends always on specific context.

3.
see above, it is always different. If a specific value is sufficient, it is easy to test.

cheers
Jan

Now I only have a small question, the value that the script shows me before visualizing the simulation, corresponds to the value of the mass of the particles that remain inside each cylinder? is that when compared with the tax experiment they are much inferior.

Thanks again for your contributions!

yes

> is that when compared with the tax experiment they are much inferior.

yes, it is a simulation, not an experiment :-)

cheers

Is there O.run() somewhere, or you are speaking of mass at iteration 0?
