Question #402779 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/402779

    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hello,
there are polyhedrons and contact between them implemented in Yade. have a
look at examples/polyhedra [1]. Also have a look at publications using this
implementation [2,3].

>From its nature, the contact detection and evaluation is more time
consuming than sphere-sphere contacts.

I am not sure if I got last part of your question, but since Yade is open
source, you can redefine or write whatever you want.

cheers
Jan
