mass after simulation

Asked by Estefany Carmona Alvarez

I have the following code, but I want to calculate the mass and porosity of the particles left in the cylinder after the deposition of the material.
Can someone help me with the function I should use? or how can I build the code for this function.

Thanks

]
O.dt=PWaveTimeStep()

def checkUnbalanced():
 if unbalancedForce()<0.05: O.pause()

Vtotal=((pi*radius*radius)*1)

print "Porosidad calculada por Yade=", utils.porosity(Vtotal)

mass=sum([b.state.mass for b in O.bodies])
print "Masa del especimen=", (mass)

Hello,
how to filter particles in cylinders, see [1],
how to calculate their mass, see [1] (calculating volume is very similar),
how to calculate porosity, see e.g. wikipedia [2],

cheers
Jan
