Dimensions of packing

Hi All,

I have a code that generate a cloud of spheres in a cylinder facet and then compact the spheres to a certain porosity. After compaction, I would like to know the height of the compacted spheres. Can you please give some suggestions on how to do that?

Below is my code.

Thank you,
Othman

from yade import plot,pack, export, ymport

targetp = .3 ##specify the targeted porosity

##specimen geometry
radiuscyl=.05
heightcyl=.203*4
SphereRadius = .0045
# material parameters

O.materials.append(FrictMat(young = 5e10, poisson = 0.15,frictionAngle = atan(.2), density=1920))
