Klaus Thoeni proposed the following answer:
Hi Ali,

you probably can just generate a TriaxialTest and export the spheres if you 
need a random packing. Start yade, press F10 and have a look at the controller 
tab Generate. You can choose TriaxialTest and adapt a few parameters. If you 
just want to create a packinng with overlap make sure 
autoCompressionActivation is off. You can change the size of the box. You 
should use internalCompaction in order to keep the size of the box. Play with 
the parameters in order to see if you can get what you need. You can export 
the spheres e.g. by:

from yade import export
export.text('mypacking.spheres')

furthermore you can have a look at scripts/triax-tutorial if you want to use 
python scripts.

HTH
Klaus
