Jan Stránský proposed the following answer: Hello Sergio, So, If I made a clump of several overlapping spheres, I understand that > the utility is not valid. > Appart from that, how can I check how the 'utils.perpendicularArea' works? > I have to say that I work with yade-daily, but I downloaded the 'trunk' > folder. Am I rigth looking for the the utility in this folder? > >From what I sent in previous email, I really have no clue what the function perpendicularArea does.. It has almost no documentation and the results I sent are a bit wild.. So from my point of view it is not valid even for spheres themself :-) If you want to look something in the source code, you can use the downloaded trunk version (as you already mentioned), or you can use launchpad [1]. I think your question should not be difficult to answer or to implement a new function for you (as you use yade-daily, you could use it almost imediatelly). The only problem is, that I don't know exactly what you mean by "projected area (respect to the axis) of several clumps" (at least I can imagine more meanings of that). Could you maybe draw a simple sketch and place it somewhere to the internet with the link in next email?
