Riccardo carta is still having a problem:
Thanks,
the 2D makeCloud command works well now.

Actually the second question was not really about having the same radius for all the spheres but more about the input "porosity" in makeCloud(). which is the range of this input?
moreover the command "num" seems to be uneffective: if I run this command

sp.makeCloud(minCorner=(-.1,0,-.1),maxCorner=(.1,0,.1),rMean=.01,periodic=False,num=100)

I get
WARN  /build/buildd/yade-daily-3+3367+42~lucid1/pkg/dem/SpherePack.cpp:213 makeCloud: Exceeded 1000 tries to insert non-overlapping sphere to packing. Only 58 spheres was added, although you requested 100.

but the makeCloud box seems to have space for more than 58 spheres

I would like to understand if input "porosity" and "num" are somehow
linked and how they affect the generation of the sphere cloud

Hope to have explained clear the issue

Thanks

Riccardo
