I am wondering whether it is possible (or someone has already implemented) to model electrical current running through packed arrangement of particles?
Effective conductivity should depend on the contact area between particles.
So that effectively particles centers are connected with pieces of wire of various diameter (various resistance depending on contact area).
In my understanding it should be analogous to heat transfer, so technically possible using LIGGGHTS.
Am I right or is it more complex than I think?

Hi antonm5012,
Hi antonm5012,
I think this should be possible with a simple transformation - at least that's what "classical theory" (unrelated to granular) says. But I'd definitely validate it carefully :-)
Best wishes!
