Hello, 

It seems the current contacts do not account for node-to-beam contact. An alternative is to wrap the beams with null shells and use the node-to-surface contact between the sph nodes and the null shells. Another approach would be to change SPH to DEM; there is a keyword that allow coupling DEM-BEAM (*DEFINE_DE_TO_BEAM_COUPLING).
