The main purpose of PFacets (IMO) is to improve this facet behavior. PFacets consist of vertex/node - edge - facet hierarchy. If the contact od of sphere-vertex type, the interaction is considered with this one vertex, not any more with more vertices or edges of facets. If the contact is of sphere-edge type, the interaction is considered with this one edge, not any more with more facets. Finally the sphere-face type of contact is handled naturally. So for this problem, pfacets are worth to try at least. cheers Jan -- You received this question notification because your team yade-users is an answer contact for Yade. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
