Question #434127 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/434127
Jan Stránský proposed the following answer: Hi Alma, in principle what you want is possible, but it needs some modifications, namely: - probably making each block a clump of a few polyhedrons - using Ig2_Polyhedra_Polyhedra_PolyhedraGeomOrScGeom, allowing ScGeom for cohesive bonds and PlyhedraGeom for broken contacts I will try to create an example soon cheers Jan 2017-01-10 22:08 GMT+01:00 Jérôme Duriez < question434...@answers.launchpad.net>: > Question #434127 on Yade changed: > https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/434127 > > Status: Open => Answered > > Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer: > Hi, > > Polyhedra are clearly not the most used shape in DEM in general and YADE > in particular, and they are included in YADE since October 2013, which > is not so old, considering also the probably limited users number. > Hence, it is indeed not surprising there is no example of this type of > problem (but anyone is welcome is propose one) > > The possibilities using polyhedras with YADE are reflected by the names > of the existing Ig2 functors [1] and Law2 functors [2].
