New question #677194 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/677194

Hi guys,

I tried to model a single particle crushing test form a clump (used CohfrictMat contact model), for initial step, everything looks good but when I run the model the Clump (cluster) collapses immediately in initial stages. Does anyone know how I can settle this issue?

Many thanks in advance.
