Can edemAPI achieve geometry that only comes into contact with one type of particle, but not with other particles?

Hi Xixihaha,

You can ignore the contacts from specified particle types.  All particle - geometry contacts are detected however you do get given the particle name.  You can write a model to apply zero force to those particle types.  

In the recent versions of the API the forces are chained, so if you have a model at the end of the chain which overwrites and sets the force to =0 then this will overwrite the forces calculatedfrom other models in the chain and just return 0.

There is a similar example here EDEM API - Contact Model Example: Removing Particles
