Description changed to:
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.
