An algorithm for transient dynamics of discrete element systems comprising a large number of irregular discrete elements in 3D is presented. The algorithm is a natural extension of contact detection, contact interaction and transient dynamics algorithms developed in recent years in the context of discrete element methods and also the combined finite‐discrete element method. It complements the existing algorithmic procedures enabling transient motion including finite rotations of irregular discrete elements in 3D space to be accurately integrated.
