Hello,
I wish you and your family perfect health.
I am modeling a triaxial test. The problem that I have is that at the beginning of the simulation, some particles come out from the walls. Therefore, it destroys the shape of micro-strain contours. In addition, the initial stresses which are sensed at the walls are so high (more than 1 MPa). I am using YADE 2020.01a, and Ubuntu 20.04. My python version is 3.8.5. Attached, you can find my script. I know it should not be too long, but this is the problem that I have. I was wondering if you could give me a solution.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Alireza
