Question #258444 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/258444
Jan Stránský proposed the following answer: Another option is to use nonlinear contact law. The simple models assumes that force is proportional to penetration depth (F=k*u). It is reasonable for "small" penetration depth, but for the scenarios where a particle goes through a wall, the force should be much much higher, something like F=k*log(u/(r1+r2)). I am not sure if something like this is implemented..
