About the HertzMindlinPrms InteractionGroup
Hi,
I was trying to figure out which InteractionGroup to use for friction between rotational particles when I saw that an InteractionGroup HertzMindlinPrms exists. Before considering whether or not using Hertz-Mindlin-
Best regards,

Hi Lukas,
The HertzMindlinPrms interaction group is only intended for non-rotational particles. No moments are calculated or imparted when using this interaction group in a RotSphere simulation.
If you require frictional interactions in rotational simulations, the best option is FrictionPrms (or its parent class RotFrictionPrms). This interaction group has been well tested for both fracture mechanics and granular flow applications.
Cheers,
Dion
