Hi Robert and thanks for the reference and explanation.

 I would like to model a soil grain as an assembly of spheres and study
thermal-mechanical characteristics of the modeled soil. Using a cluster
of spheres bonded together as an agglomerate works well but is
computationally expensive. So, generating a clump representing a grain
can be a good alternative.  Please let me know of  any better
alternatives you can think of.

So based on your response, clumps cannot transfer heat between their members but can be homogeneously heated. 
In the code I posted, only the clump member that is in contact with the 400K  stand-alone sphere shows temperature change and the rest stay at 100K.

So I guess my question is if clumps are meant to behave  homogeneously
in both mechanical and thermal modes, why only one member is heated and
the rest stay at 100K? Am I missing something in the thermal engine?


Thanks

Zoheir
