Do you guys have results about that?

Yes, I see, that the difference between 100% spheres and 100% clumps
(two spherical members) is not much (around +0.1 ... +0.2). On one hand
there are more contacts, but on the other hand the porosity is higher
and hence less contacts. A denser packing can be achieved by using lower
friction while consolidation. Also using more members per clump will
lead to more contacts, but I did notdo this, yet.
