Right now, shape of particle is a sphere. Can user define a shape of particle like cube, ellipsoid etc. if yes, could you please explain how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Yes and No.
Yes and No.
Bc of the contact detection the only fast method is to use spheres (contact=x1-x2
The contact detecton is than performed for the particle-particle contact.

wanted to add this image
in theorie you could implement contact detection for superquatrics, but until now nobody have had the time and the founding to do this.

One possibility is to "glue" many spheres together using fix rigid or fix multisphere*.
A simple box could look like this:

is there any example/ or
is there any example/ or guides onhow to use ellipsoid particle?
