Question #292672 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/292672

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hi Felipe,
maybe the problem is the definition of "agglomerate". Please give us more
information and be as specific as possible. Should it be rigid or elastic?
Should it be cohesive or not? Damagable or elastic?...

Anyway, I doubt there exists such a function. On the other hand, in any
case it is not difficult to write your own, using Klaus's suggestions,
maybe only changing appendClump if clump is not what you want.

Thanks for additional information
cheers
Jan
