Question #225776 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/225776
Anton Gladky proposed the following answer: Hi, my 2cts. You can have a look in the source code, where friction angle is calculated and implemented [1], especially lines 67, 72, 231 and 383. They will give you an exact information about friction angle in this constitutive law in Yade. Actually, in other DEM-codes AFAIK the implementation is almost the same. I do not think, that the friction angle is the parameter, which will sufficiently influence on the "macro"-results of your simulation. You will, probably, get a noticeable difference, say, between mu=0 and mu=0.2, but you will unlikely see a big difference between mu=0.2 and mu=0.5. You should check and decide, whether you really need set the friction angle so accurately.
