Austin Sutton posted a new comment: Bruno, Thank you for the detailed response. I figured that such a solution would not be as simple as changing some settings in the interaction loop, but I wanted to make sure before I tried modifying the source code. If I implemented the solution you proposed, would the interaction loop look as follows? O.engines=[ ForceResetter(), InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb(),Bo1_Facet_Aabb()]), InteractionLoop( [Ig2_Facet_Sphere_ScGeom(),Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_ScGeom()], [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys,IP2_HertzMat_HertzMat_MindlinPhys()], [Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack,Law2_ScGeom_MindlinPhys_Mindlin()]) NewtonIntegrator(gravity=(0,-9.81,0),damping=0)] --> "p.s. On a more physical aspect, I am wondering why sphere-facet contacts should not follow Hertz-Mindlin. Theoretically it makes no difference if one object in contact is a flat surface." You're correct. The reason why I am doing this is because I want to add adhesion through the DMT formulation (i.e. specifying the surface energy, gamma) for particle-particle interactions. With my current script, specifying the surface energy will apply adhesion not only to the interacting particles, but also between particles and the facets, which is undesirable at the moment. So, is there a way to add only adhesion between the particles using Hertz-Mindlin contact?
