Question #235031 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/235031

    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hello Sergio,

What particle shapes do you use for your clumps? Could you please explain
more in detail what do you mean by projected area of several clump?

I checked the utils.perpendicularArea function very quickly, but could not
find out how it works..

b1,b2=utils.sphere((0,0,0),1), sphere((1,2,3),2)
O.bodies.append((b1,b2))
perpendicularArea(0) # result = 30
perpendicularArea(1) # result = 24
perpendicularArea(2) # result = 20

Thanks for the answer and hopefully we can iterate until your question is
answered :-)
cheers
Jan
