Question #221362 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/221362

Christian Jakob proposed the following answer:
hi,

You can also try recently included methods (available soon) utils.clumpTemplate() and O.bodies.replaceByClumps(), which is very useful, if you want to model ballast! After an update you will find an example script here: examples/clumps/replaceByClumps-example.py.
There the mass is corrected via clump volume (which is not sum of sphere volumes in case of overlaps).
Also you can test the new code. ;)

Cheers,

Christian.
