Question #142804 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/142804

Chareyre gave more information on the question:
(4) Does not apply. The ordering is random (right?).
(5) Trying psd.py, it seems the tabular psd is not fitted really well.
Also, size PSD and mass PSD look similar. Am I interpreting something
the wrong way?

> 4/ It seems particles generation will start with smaller particles and finish with the bigger ones, this is high demanding for the positioning algorithm which tries to find free spots. It would be easier (i.e. it could achieve lower porosities) to fill the voids between big ones with small ones. Ok to invert that part?
