Can YADE generate specific number of polyhedral particles in a packing?

Asked by Lassakorn Eawsakul

I'm making the simulation of gravity deposition for polyhedral particles to fall into container, I wonder if we can generate a pack of polyhedral particles in specific number (I have min/max size in vector for each size I want to generate)

Hello,

yes.

For example, you can use simple spherical makeCloud and then replace spheres with polyhedral particles

Thanks for the answer,

Is there any docs or sources where I can find about how to replacing it

Thanks in advance

Simply:
###
sp = SpherePack()
sp.makeCloud(...) # specific number, sizes, ...
for center,radius in sp:
    createPolyhedronAtPositionWithSize(center,2*radius) # your own implementation
###
