MakeCloud and randomDensePack Documentation

Asked by Diego Sotro

hi all, i again:
i searched documentation about how YADE generates spheres packing, but the only thing that i found is the code in c++ in the source code ( i believe) with few explanations and i dont understand lot c++. i want to know the method for create spheres packing. where i can find some information about this?

regards from Santiago of Chile

Hi,

Which function are you refering to ? There are a couple of different ways generating packing in Yade.

Sorry, I read your question title after the question itself...

Basically

- makeCloud attemps to put randomly spheres in a given volume, avoiding any overlap. Such random attempts get less and less successful once the volume gets significantly filled (this explains why you get sometimes less spheres than required)

- randomDensePack outputs a packing resulting from a (hidden, from a user point of view) triaxial simulation. I guess the c++ code of the function is the only place to have the exact parameters of this triaxial simulation.
