Hi Damien,

thanks for your reply. I managed to solve my problems by using rectangles as you suggested.

However, I encountered another problem now. For the spherical particles I used the following lines to connect the particles:

    <PlugIn Id="_BuildElementPairSetFromElementSet"/>
    <PlugIn Id="_Convert" What="ElementPair" To="Beam" YoungModulus="48e4" RadiusRatio="0.1" PoissonRatio="0.3" Set="Soil"/>

The same is not working for the polyhedral particles - probably because this does only work for discrete elements which are suposted to be spherical? Is there a way to build bonds between polyhedral particles?

Thanks in advance
Nici
