Geometric Algorithm with Geometry and PSD inputs

Asked by bruna

Hello everyone!

Does anybody know a geometric algorithm for packing spheres that uses as input the PSD and a specific geometry in contour? Is there any script with such algorithm already implemented?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

References [Jerier2009] and [Jerier2010a] (from https://yade-dem.org/doc/publications.html#journal-articles) come to my mind. I'm unsure if this perfectly fits your needs, and if this is embedded in the current Yade version, but it may be worth to give a look.

@Jérôme, Jerier et al. does not have an input PSD.

@Bruna, a possible method is to grow particles in the defined shape (bound by facets, for instance), how well it will work depends on the actual shape. Such growing algorithm is used in triax-tutorial/session1.py for instance

Can you help with this problem?
