Abstract
The geometry of convex polyhedra is described by a set of half spaces. This geometry representation is used in the discrete element method to model polyhedral particles. An algorithm for contact detection and the calculation of the interaction forces for these particles is presented. Finally the presented model is exemplified by simulating the particle flow through a hopper.
