We are trying to use YADE DEM to simulate the process of emptying particles filled in a 2D maze like structure by means of gravity. The prime idea is to reorient the gravity such that the particles falls  downward through an exit in the maze. This is iteratively done by choosing particles near the exit to be pushed outwards. However, after some simulation time the particles get stuck into the wall, and they do not move downward even when the wall is vertical. Has someone faced a similar problem due to particles impinging the boundary(ies)? If so, how should one best tacle this problem in YADE simulation?
