> Vaclav, do you have any thoughts on packing strategy?
Well, I think the current state is satisfactory, no? There are (dense) 
packing generators in the pack module (regularHexa, regularOrtho, 
randomDensePack, randomPeriPack), which generate a SpherePack object 
with spheres, given a spatial predicate determining where to create that 
packing. Then SpherePack itself has 
makeCloud/particleSD/particleSD2/makeClumpCloud (naming is a bit 
uninuitive, that's true) for generating loose packings.

Factory generates particles during the simulation, it is not related IMHO.
