Hi Vaclav, Thank you for your suggestions, Frederic made the same remarks. Concerning the use of SpherePadder (geometric algorithm), I will write a detailled documentation in the next months. For the moment in few weeks, a second paper will be available in order to explain the algorithm method and show examples of engineering applications, ...
In the meantime, the geometric algorithm still requires some developments to be fully userfriendly as you say it. keep in touch Jf Original Message: ----------------- From: Václav milauer [email protected] Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:52:24 +0100 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Yade-users] Particle Generation (how to avoid explosion) > Janek is right, Vincent Richefeu and me have implemented a geometric > algorithm in Yade into Spherepadder file. > That is not finished implementation. You use some obscure makefiles (should be integrated with scons) and there is no documentation. Care to fix that please? (I manged to compile that but am I supposed to read the source to use it?) There is some python interface in SpherePadder_wrapper.cpp, why don't you provide a simple showcase script and sample data to run it on? If you depend on cgal for triangulation, IIRC Bruno was going to ask them about the license issues. v. > With this type of geometric algorithm you can generate a pre-packing (see > attached picture) and you can control some parameters as: max overlap, min > radius min and max radius (not the sphere size distribution). > _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com What can On Demand Business Solutions do for you? http://link.mail2web.com/Business/SharePoint _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
