Ken, I will be facing the same problem (with concrete damage), I think, duing next years. My idea is to have only the domain that will undergo damage in DEM (perhaps even only its outer boundary with the interior as lattice model with discrete elements being added as needed) and remote regions that will not be damaged will be in FEM. It will be quite difficult, since there is on coupling of those methods in yade, but that is what I will work on most likely. I will start working on that after vacation.
