Hi all, In my DPhil thesis submitted in 2013, I previously developed algorithms for (i) block generation and contact detection between polyhedral blocks (I have named it as Potential Blocks in YADE), and also (ii) contact detection between general non-spherical particles (Potential Particles).
http://www2.eng.ox.ac.uk/civil/publications/theses/boon It is now being updated with Coin-OR's clp library (2015) and I've added it into the config file in YADE (2016-2017). I've written a brief introduction as to how to enable this feature in YADE (attached), so that it can be incorporated into YADE's Documentation (maybe 3rd edition?). I am working in the industry currently, and can only spend time on a casual basis as a hobby (once in a few months). The algorithms for block generation and contact detection are already being used by other research groups. https://github.com/cb-geo/spark-rocks https://www.ce.berkeley.edu/news/2044 https://www.cb-geo.com/team/ Btw, recently I submitted a pull request, to update the description of some variables.
