Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hello,

> whether polyhedral particles are suitable for triaxial tests?

yes

> How computationally efficient is it

obviously it is more "expensive" than spheres.
How much, depends on used contact law, actual shape used (polyhedron, potential block, ...) and other factors.

> can we extract contact information or other important information from
this method?

yes

Cheers
