"REFD" is : RE, then FD.

RE : the radius of each sphere is modified
FD : friction coefficient is reduced, leading to a volumetris collapse, 
but this time radii are not affected : the stress is controlled using walls.

So, three different cases will give the same particle size distribution 
(because the final size is fixed at the transition between RE and FD), 
but different porosities and different total volumes of the sample.
