2PFV - Surface area of solids

Asked by Luis Barbosa

Dear all,

I am coupling YADE-2PFV to a continuum hydrological model.

As an input for the continuum model it requires the total surface area of solids.
So far, I am exporting the solid mesh from YADE using Paraview and getting the surface area from a CAD software.

But I wounder if there is some feature in YADE to get this number directly.

Important to say that I am working with a random dense pack. So, the surface area is not just the surface area of particles, since there is also some overlapping among them.

Cheers,
Luis

Are you sure you can not resort to the classical "negligible overlap" assumption here ?
