Hello Burak, the current tetra contact algorithm is implemented by myself, but it was a bit quick work and I am a bit afraid that there are some cases the algorithm would not work (ar at least not properly). Anyway I think it is possible to use it at least as a starter.
If you know contact forces and contact points, it is possible to interpolate these forces to nodes (tetra's vertices). So what you asked should be possible. For the FEM like particles, do you plan to use elastic behavior, or also some more complicated constitutive law? Recently I did some work of the same kind, but using an external FEM program.. I will put the information on wiki in a few days time. cheers Jan 2013/9/23 Burak ER <[email protected]> > Dear Yade Developers, > > Salutes again.
