Christian Jakob proposed the following answer:
If you really need to modify your clumps, I think

O.bodies.releaseFromClump(0,3)
O.bodies.addToClump([0],3)

is the only way I know.

Hi Bettina,

I had a look at (tsuji, 1992).  I think your understanding of the paper of 
(Tsuji et at., 1992) is correct. It  is described differently in the paper of 
(tsuji, 1992). The difference between (tsuji, 1992) and (cundall, 1979)  may be 
that when the contact damping should be addad, before (Tsuji et at., 1992) or 
after (cundall, 1979) the check for Mohr-Coloumb criterion.I have thought for a 
few days. In the source code  of yade(HertzMindlin.cpp lines 407-420), I think 
Mohr-Coulomb criterion may be violated as you described,although it is hard to 
happen. However, I'm not really sure which approach is better/more correct 
today. 
In the past, I also felt  confused about this question. At present, I often 
adopt the local damping used in PFC2D (see PFC2D manual, Version 4.0 , Theory 
and Background). I will ask other people for this question. I will tell you, if 
I have a answer. I really hope some experts or you can give a reasonable 
interpretation.

Thanks,
LI Chang-Sheng

Question #275459 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/275459

Status: Open => Answered

Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
Both ways are consistent. If it considered that friction coefficient gives an 
upper bound of the elastic force then the fact that elastic+viscous force can 
be larger is consistent (this is the current situation).
If it is decided that the upper bound is an upper bound for the total force, 
then it should not exceed (not possible currently if I understand correctly).
There is no "best" assumption in my opinion, they are both constitutive 
assumptions and which one is closer to reality may depend on the materials.

>I thought updating might cause some strange trouble..

To not update frequently is for sure causing most of the troubles. It resulted 
in wasting many developments in the last years.
So, especially if you have a complex task like a coupling, I would suggest to 
update as often as possible.

More than that, you should have small scripts integrated in the
regression tests, so that you are warned if some changes in the source
code have side effects on your code.

Beside, I would be glad to discuss your project if you wish. You can
register/write to yade-dev or email me personally, as you prefer.
