Hi Eugen,


Following [1] it is possible to save created packings in a database. This

>From the source code, it seems that really only periodic packings are
loaded from database.. anyway, spheresInCell parameter means, that the

necessarilly usable only in simulations with periodic boundary conditions.
Basicly, the periodic packing packing (cube) is created, than copied in
space to cover all needed volume defined by predicate and particles outside
predicate are deleted (this is for illustration, the actual implementation
may differ..). So you can use it for any simulation. To be more precise,
use randomDensePack for non-periodic simulations (even though
randomDensePack itself uses periodic boundary conditions) and
randomPeriPack for periodic simulations.

Title:
  spherePacking warning pack.randomDensePack

Status in Yet Another Dynamic Engine:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,
  making use of pack.randomDensePack to fill up a predicate gives the following warning:

  WARN  /build/buildd/yade-daily-3+3463+44~precise1/pkg/dem/SpherePack.cpp:107 makeCloud: porosity must be >0, changing it for you. It will be ineffective if rMean>0.
  WARN  /build/buildd/yade-daily-3+3463+44~precise1/pkg/dem/TriaxialCompressionEngine.cpp:110 action: This engine is deprecated, please switch to TriaxialStressController if you expect long term support.
  /usr/lib/yade-daily/py/yade/pack.py:288: FutureWarning: The default behavior will change; specify returnSpherePack=True for the new behavior, and False to get rid of this warning (your code will break in the future, however). The returned SpherePack object can be added to the simulation using SpherePack.toSimulation()
    warnings.warn('The default behavior will change; specify returnSpherePack=True for the new behavior, and False to get rid of this warning (your code will break in the future, however). The returned SpherePack object can be added to the simulation using SpherePack.toSimulation()',category=FutureWarning)
   
  Does this method need an update?
    "This engine is deprecated, please switch to TriaxialStressController if you expect long term support."
  the method works as supposed but the warning is annoying.

  I attached a minimum working example this time ;)

  Thanks, Eugen
