Question #257388 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/257388
Luc Scholtès posted a new comment: I would just add that, as Bruno said, Nc>5 is not possible with DEM using SPHERICAL particles. However, it is conceivable by using non spherical particles (e.g clumps or polyhedra) as it is sometimes done for modelling rocks. An alternative for that is to allow near neighbour contacts (contact between non overlapping particles) using the aabbEnlargeFactor and interactionDetectionFactor. It is working pretty well as shown in [1]. The questions now are more about what mterial do you want to simulate? Rock? Soil? And also why are you saying that there is a mismatch between simulations and experiments? This could also be due to an inappropriate contact law...
