Is the current sphero-cylinders model for bonds only at the hemispherical ends? I want to bond hemispheres along the cylindrical bin (longitudinal axis) of the sphero-cylinder. See the picture above. Besides, the EDEM documentations states that a small gap should be left between the adjacently bonded sphero-cylinders. Is this statement valid for my situation given that I am also using the Bonding V2 model?

    Hi Mikes Din,

    You can model the above structure for your reference as shown below and test by hitting with rotating geometry as shown in the picture.

     

    Hope this helps
