Hi, just to note if you go to the EDEM Analyst. Select Particles and de-select 'Display All' then choose Apply All (you may have to scroll down)

Then go to Contacts and choose All-All or change to Particle-Particle/Particle-Geometry as required and then select 'Display Contacts'. You can colour these by your chosen measure.

Regards

Hi, you can use the Contact Opacity to make it transparant:

Or use a clipping plane/slice to cut the model:

Yes, that shows a section, I was hoping to make it half transparent to see the whole.
