New question #687977 on Yade: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/687977
Hi everyone, I am using Ubuntu 18.04, and Yade 2019-08-08.git-775ae74 I use the Triaxial code by Bruno Chareyre [1] to understand how it works. [1] https://gitlab.com/yade-dev/trunk/blob/master/examples/triax-tutorial/script-session1.py For now, I am reading [2] for makecloud function and have some questions [2] https://yade-dem.org/doc/yade.pack.html?highlight=sp%20makecloud#yade._packSpheres.SpherePack.makeCloud 1- why the "rMean" is negative? as I know rMean is the mean value of particle radii it should be something like 0.2 mm 2- the way these variables are used in makecloud function is to just put them in order and separate them by " , " ? I mean it is not possible to define: porosity = 0.4 ? I tried it in this way and got an error. 3- in [1] we define the term "targetporosity" at the beginning of the code while it has never been used in the scripts. What if I want to say my initial model has a specific porosity. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% My goal is to define a packing with "20mm*20mm*20mm" dimensions, initial porosity of 0.4, 2e4 number of particles, minimum radius=0.1, and maximum radius=0.3 4- is the following ok if I change [1] in this way? >> sp.makeCloud(mn,mx,rMean=0.2,rRelFuzz=0.5,periodic=False,num=num_spheres,porosity=targetPorosity,seed=1) Thank you, bests -- You received this question notification because your team yade-users is an answer contact for Yade. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
