Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
Hi,
1) BBM with Χ=Sr is irrelevant to the pendular regime. So, 
2) no, there is no way to reach BBM with Χ=Sr by simulation of pendular regime.

Your description of the model is confusing.   
>" at (delta)n = 0, fn=fcap (right...), then for (delta)n > 0; fn increases with delta."

Instead I would put it this way:  
- at (delta)n < 0, fn=0, fcap=something. 
- then for (delta)n > 0; fn increases with delta, fcap = something"
where fn is the contact force and fcap is the capillary force, which come from two independent models.

If the capillary effects are negligibly small you can simply increase
surface tension.
