Can we generate randomly particles shape in yade eg.rocks?

Asked by Lassakorn Eawsakul

Hi, I wonder if I could generate polyhedron particles randomly shape (aggregates) and add its density, weight to use in gravity deposition. Thank you in advance.
PS. I’m trying to do the particles packing and let it fall down by gravity into container and measure its void.

Hello,

I think that polyhedra_utils.fillBox()[1] could be helpful. It generates random polyhedral particles according to the algorithm described in [2].

Cheers,
Karol
