How do we generate fibres and randomly distribute them?

"Random distribution" is a generic idea. How to do it concretely will probably depend on your application, and then it is difficult to give a general answer. If you define the type of random distribution you need in terms of equations it should be possible to tell you how it can be implemented.

>How do we create fibres?
I would suggest to have a look at the cylinder (with gridConnexions) examples first, then ask specific questions if something is not clear.

Hi,

I have used the following code to make a cylindrical object which is considered as a single fibre.

###Create all nodes first :
nodesIds=[]
for i in linspace(0,L,nL):
  nodesIds.append( O.bodies.append(
    gridNode([i,0.02,0.01],rCyl,wire=False,fixed=False,material='gridNodeMat',color=(1,1,1)) ) )

##Now create connection between the nodes
for i,j in zip( nodesIds[:-1], nodesIds[1:]):
  O.bodies.append( gridConnection(i,j,rCyl,
                                  material='gridCoMat'
                                  ) )

My question is How can I use that fibre and distribute it randomly into the packing of spheres. I already have a pack of spheres and I want to distribute the fibres, How can I copy that fibre into the sphere pack and which is the best way to distribute them?

Thanks,
