Using cylindrical elements instead of spherical elements

Asked by Olav Ragnvaldsen

Hi,

I am wondering if there is a possibility to create small cylinders as body objects instead of spheres? Further, I would like to use these cylindrical elements in a randomDensePack in a spherical predicate.

Best regards,
Olav

Hello Olav,

I am unfamiliar with the practical use of PFacets, but I know you can create cylinders in Yade by extruding spheres. Check out the documentation [1].
