Christian Jakob posted a new comment:
In Yade you can use facets [1] and/or boxes [2] to simulate conveyor belt system. I would prefer boxes, because there is still a bug in facets.
It should be possible to move them, by giving them a velocity using body.state.vel command [3]. Then you could use periodic boundaries [4], [5] to create an "infinite" conveyor system.

I dont know, if this is what you need.
