Flat profile well simulation

[MehtaMeet54]

For simulating a well/tube/tunnel I made an interaction class and for response comparison I was attempting to benchmark against the InteractionPlane and the AnisotropicFrictionalPlane and the models behave well but not similarly, as in for some range of parameters the AnisotropicFrictionalPlane does work better and settle down in a known time period and my model blows up to Nan and for some the AnisotropicFrictionalPlane just keeps on oscillating and my model settles down with small oscillations. I have attached the work bellow.

Are there any ways to resolve these inconsistencies and any way to improve these interaction class?

Hi @MehtaMeet54

Is the InteractionPlane you mentioned your model or interaction plane in Elastica?

Could you please provide more details? For example, some graphs, videos from simulations that are using the models you mentioned.

[MehtaMeet54]

Yes the interaction plane is the one that is present in Elastica.
Here is a video of the simulation.

Are you using AnisotropicFrictionalPlane class or InteractionPlane?

You should use AnisotropicFrictionalPlane since you cannot add InteractionPlane into simulator. If you don't want friction and only plane response just set static_mu_array and kinetic_mu_array to zero.

I am using AnisotropicFrictionalPlane with static_mu_array and kinetic_mu_array to zero.
