Question #245018 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/245018

    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hi Behzad,

gts import is possible, but it results in list of facets. If you would like
to import gts mesh as polyhedrons, it is AFAIK not implemented yet, but
should not be a big deal.

it might be computationally benefitial, but as everything it depends on
specific context and actual simulation

btw., there is no polyhedron-sphere interaction implementation yet ;-)

cheers
Jan
