Question #402779 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/402779
Status: Open => Answered Jan Stránský proposed the following answer: Hello, there are polyhedrons and contact between them implemented in Yade. have a look at examples/polyhedra [1]. Also have a look at publications using this implementation [2,3]. >From its nature, the contact detection and evaluation is more time consuming than sphere-sphere contacts. I am not sure if I got last part of your question, but since Yade is open source, you can redefine or write whatever you want. cheers Jan [1] https://github.com/yade/trunk/tree/master/examples/polyhedra [2] http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0032591014005191 [3] http://congress.cimne.com/particles2013/proceedings/full/p103.pdf 2016-10-05 11:27 GMT+02:00 张德 <question402...@answers.launchpad.net>: > New question #402779 on Yade: > https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/402779 > > Sir, I am working on a project about granulars with irregular > shapes----ballasts which used on train track ballast bed.
