Hi,
I want to create model that represent highly jointed rock mass using jointedCohesiveFrictionalPM. At first I want to create rock block and then to add joints into that block. Since I have dense fracture network that I want to add I need to use spheres with small radii in order to be able to create even smallest subblocks that are created by joint intersections. But before i proceed to simulation I would like to rationalize whole model and to reduce overall number of spheres but to keep all subblocks. And here comes my question: Is it possible to determine what spheres belong to each subblock? Or to transform subblocks into clumps and then replace spheres with small radii with ones with larger radii?
I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Veljko
