This package contains a user-created expansion to LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC. Specifically, this adds flexible stiff fibers to LIGGGHTS, like wheat straw, plastic straws, grass, and others. You will find examples on how to use this package in examples/BondPackage. This is an updated version of the bond package first completed by richti83 for LIGGGHTS 3.3 (https://github.com/richti83/LIGGGHTS-WITH-BONDS). If you find this work helpful to you, please also reference the following paper, along with the LIGGGHTS paper.
