The other bodies are imported "via yade", athough not directly.
Still you have access to the bodies as O.bodies[theProblematicID]

> Besides, the above reported error only appears when I defined FrictMat
in the script. When I define only PolyhedraMat and use only the
following engine, the problem did not occur.

If you use only PolyhedraMat, all the needed dispatchers for material-shape combinations exist.
For FrictMat and PolyhedraMat, you create a FrictPhys (Ip2_FrictMat_PolyhedraMat_FrictPhys) but at the same time from Facet and Polyhedron you create PolyhedraGeom (Ig2_Facet_Polyhedra_PolyhedraGeom).
And there is no Law2 for PolyhedraGeom and FrictPhys..

You have either implement the Law2, or choose such combination of
shapes, materials, Ip2 and Ig2 such that all resulting IGeom+IPhys
combinations can use existing Law2.

Cheers
Jan
