I need to simulate a loose packing of polypropylene particles.
What are the physical parameters I have to change and where can I found the right values for them?

Mechanical properties
You need to know the mechanical properties as well as density and size of the particles. You can find some typical values here: http://www.ineos.com/globalassets/ineos-group/businesses/ineos-olefins-a...
