Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hi Seti,

> my model will be exploded.

usually this is because too high time step. Could you try with decreased
(10x, 100x) time step? sigmaT (cohesion in shear) determines the maximum
shear force, maybe with higher sigmaT the shear forces are too high and
makes the simulation unstable..

3) have a look at export.VTKExporter.exportContactPoints [1], You can
export damage or relResidualStrength of each contact. Using paraview,
you can use e.g. Cylinder glyph to visualize cracks.

cheers
Jan
