Periodic triaxial test example in chapter 2 does not work

[liucheng83]

Hello,
Periodic triaxial test examplein chapter 2 (Tutorial) does not work.

------------when I use yade 0.70 it gives the message as fllow:
yade.plot: creating new line for kinetic
yade.plot: creating new line for elastPotential
yade.plot: creating new line for nonviscDamp
yade.plot: creating new line for velGradWork
yade.plot: creating new line for plastDissip
FATAL /build/buildd/yade-0.70.0/core/ThreadRunner.cpp:31 run: Exception occured:
Body #270 has velocity==NaN!

------------when I use yade 0.80 it gives the message as fllow:(Yade 0.80.0+1+9~precise1, from 2012-05-04
)

Yade [1]: FATAL /build/buildd/yade-stable-0.80.0+1+9~precise1/core/ThreadRunner.cpp:31 run: Exception occured:
PeriTriaxController run on aperiodic simulation.
yade.plot: creating new line for kinetic
yade.plot: creating new line for nonviscDamp

the scripts is in 2.6.6 Periodic triaxial test in yade document , for easy, list as fllowing:

# periodic triaxial test simulation
#
# The initial packing is either
#
# 1. random cloud with uniform distribution, or
# 2. cloud with specified granulometry (radii and percentages), or
# 3. cloud of clumps, i.e. rigid aggregates of several particles
#
# The triaxial consists of 2 stages:
#
# 1. isotropic compaction, until sigmaIso is reached in all directions;
# this stage is ended by calling compactionFinished()
# 2. constant-strain deformation along the z-axis, while maintaining
# constant stress (sigmaIso) laterally; this stage is ended by calling
# triaxFinished()
#
# Controlling of strain and stresses is performed via PeriTriaxController,
# of which parameters determine type of control and also stability
# condition (maxUnbalanced) so that the packing is considered stabilized
# and the stage is done.

Fixed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/yade/+bug/1009257
The clump part of the script still needs some tuning.

Fixed here, sorry:
