There is no direct import (see
https://yade-dem.org/sphinx/yade.ymport.html for what is available); it
depends on what kind of data you want to import. I would suggest that you
either convert those data to STL or have Gambit write a text file which you
can read with python functions easily (see the source of yade.ymport.text
for inspiration); we can add it to ymport if you will think it will be
generally useful.
