    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
> I want to know whether the contact type between particles can be
determined in polyhedra calculation, such as face-face contact or face-
vertex contact?

In current implementation (and more importantly approached used), it is
not possible, because the contact is determined according to
intersecting polyhedron (see [2], Elias2013 and Elias2014 for more
details) and does not distinguish between described cases.

Probably it could be somehow guessed..

cheers
