Robert Caulk proposed the following answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Yade!

If I understand you correctly, you want to make a clump cloud
(makeClumpCloud [1]). If you would like the clump cloud to follow a
cohesive model, you will want to look through CPM [4], JCFPM [5],
CohFrict [6]. Your material model selection depends on what type of
failure model you are after. After you've created your clump cloud,
running the triaxial test follows the same procedure as any other
packing type. I am hesitant to show you [2] since it uses the deprecated
TriaxialCompressionEngine. Instead, you would simply use your clump
cloud with TriaxialStressController [3].

Cheers,

Robert
