(Get the code!)
That's right. You need not only edges but also vertices.
For the contact formulation, I think there is no big problems. I'm sure PFC manual or other papers are giving the equations.
The implementation in Yade is the more tricky part.
FYI, François Kneib should work on a problem very similar in the coming months. The difference is that the geometry of the surface will modelized by thick facets, cylinders for the edges and spheres for the vertices (minkowsky-type geometry). It only changes the contact formulation. The connectivity and other things are strictly the same.
