    Status: Open => Answered

Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hi,

You may look into defining cohesive (e.g. tensile resisting)
interactions between the spheres, with CohFrictMat and related classes.

Note that there should be many papers in the DEM litterature that
approximate structures with chains of spheres. The current YADE state of
the art may be models using ChainedCylinders (now deprecated ?) and
GridConnection (replacing the former) classes.
