Alexander Eulitz [Eugen] confirmed that the question is solved:
I did it this way now:
There is a PyRunner which calls settleRealPacking() periodically.

def settleRealPacking():
    O.interactions.clear() #update contac physics after material was changed
    newton.damping = 0.9 #introduce high numerical damping
    print "unbF:", utils.unbalancedForce() #is just producing NaN?
    utils.calm() #delete relative velocities
    if utils.unbalancedForce()<0.1 : #threshold for settlement
        newton.damping = dmp #reset damping to original value
        checker.command = 'startProcessing()'  #go on with simulated process

It looks ok, but I have to check whether the result is like the settled
packing that would arise from a simulation with the real material from
beginning on.

Thank you,
Alex
