Hello,

> do i have To clump the facets creating a rigid body? Becouse now i don
t know if they will stay togheter during the impact .

if you use TranslationEngine, the motion of all facets is prescribed.
They stay together, but they won't react on the contact with soil. From
this point of view, probably using a clump is a better option.

> do i have to reconvert My file.txt in a file.gts?

no, in both ways you just get facets..

> the aircraft Will act a rigid body. I would like To see the aircraft
deformations

I think this is most difficult part of your question. Please describe more the experiment (how much is the aircraft crashed etc.)
Currently I feel Yade might not be the right software to use..

> And register the forces acting on the aircraft center of gravity.

this is no problem

> I know the facet-facet contact doeSn t exist. How can i do?

You could implement it, but why do you need facet-facet contact? For
modeling aircraft deformations?

cheers
Jan
