Question #678055 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/678055

Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
"there is no geometrical overlap" is misleading IMO.
Should be replaced by "distance is larger than R1+R2".

> if there is no deformation or overlap between the particles, how can
the force between the particles be calculated?

I never claimed there was no deformation.
See [1] as an example of force computation between two spheres.
