Yes PFC can, if you pay the additional bill for the periodic boundaries 
option... I don't know anybody with this version in Grenoble.
Appart from this, it is a good idea and yes it could probably be used by 
more than one guy. All we need is to code the periodic boundaries in 
Yade (I have ideas for this but no time...), or find somebody with a 
periodic code.

Hi,

 I know somebody with a periodic code. It is Christophe Martin (Professor
at University of Grenoble, laboratory SIMAP), He has developed Dp3d in
Fortran. Normally, this code is free.
If you are interesting, I can send him an email in order to know how to
download his code.
