L3Geom and L6Geom are now not maintained and should not be used. ScGeom is
Yade standard.

ScGeom has 3 DOFs (normal + 2 shear components), ScGeom6D has 6 DOFs
(ScGeom + moments)

clump is a rigid connection of several particles. Otherwise clump acts as
any other particle. Here I am not sure about the meaning of "may reduce the
effect of free rotation". Next time please be more specific and also put a
MWE [1] to your message. Also please open a new question for this topic as
it differs a lot from the question title and basically is a different
question :-) see [1], too.

cheers
Jan
