Dear all,

Maybe it is not possible, or at least quite difficult, to put together 
in a same software all the best features for DEM.
Each code has his advantages and imperfections.

For instance, to make simulations with 500 000 particles or more, it is 
presently better to use Esys, but in Esys there is no rotation-torque 
contact law.  Yade is more versatile and there is a much larger choice 
of contact laws. But as Yade is mode versatile, it may be difficult to 
make it as fast as Esys, and so on.

Consequently, in my opinion, there are different codes with different 
advantages, and depending on what you want to do, you will use one code 
or another. Of course, it is only my personnal opinion of code user and 
bad programmer.

Best regards,
Luc
