Intersection of facets

Hello José,
if I understand correctly, this feature is not directly supported by Yade.
However, you can use some preprocessor for facets, either your own script,
or use some mesher generating triangular surface mesh (personally I
usuzally use Salome [1]). Yade can read various mesh formats (gmsh, iges,
stl, gts, unv), see [2].
If I understood incorrectly or in case of any further question, do not
hesitate to ask :-)
cheers
