Sphere size Distribution

Asked by Seti

Hi all,

can you please help me to find out what is wrong with below script. Thanks so much
That is very simple script try to model pack of spheres with specific size distribution,

#!/usr/bin/python
from yade import pack,utils, qt, plot
#pred = pack.inAlignedBox((0,0,0),(.045,0.045,.045))
#create material
soil1 = CohFrictMat(young=30e9,poisson=0.3,frictionAngle=radians(30),density=2600.0,normalCohesion=1e6, shearCohesion=80e6,label='soil')
#color=(1,0,0) ----red color
#soil1 = FrictMat(young=1e6,poisson=0.4,frictionAngle=radians(30),density=2500.0,label='soil')
O.materials.append(soil1)#
O.bodies.append(utils.wall(0,axis=1,sense=1))
O.materials.append(CohFrictMat(young=30e9,poisson=0.3, frictionAngle = radians(30) , label='wallmat'))
wallmat = O.materials[-1]

spheres=SpherePack()
#spheres=pack.randomDensePack(pred,radius=.5,rRelFuzz=0,material='soil',spheresInCell=1000,color=(1,0,0),returnSpherePack=True)
#spheres.toSimulation()
#O.bodies.append(spheres)
