Question about the contact model of Woo

Asked by Henry

Dear Václav Šmilauer,
    I'm studying the Woo code, and there are many new functions than Yade.
   However, the material model in Woo is limited. And I only find only the examples that with friction model can be run correctly.
   Is there have other material models, such as cohensive friction model, concrete material model, and so on?
  Thanks a lot!

Best Regard,
Henry

Hi Henry, there are details on currently available contact models in http://woodem.eu/doc/theory/contact/index.html (plus there there is mostly testing-only purely elastic 6DOF model without friction), or if you want to go more technical, check classes deriving from LawFunctor in the inheritance diagram at the beginning of http://woodem.eu/doc/woo.dem.html .

I did not adapt all material models from Yade - many of them are not implemented cleanly (including my concrete model ;) ) or I never needed them. If you look at the horse preprocessor, for example , it uses ContactModelSelector to conveniently choose a model along with its relevant parameters.

If there is some model you think is useful, and there is a solid reference for it, I can implement it or guide you in doing that.

Cheers, Václav
