Hello,

I am preparing a sample of spherical particles in a box, which I am using for simulating dry granular flow in a flume. The sample I am generating has a specific volume(L,W,H) and a specific particle size. I want these two to remain fixed while setting the porosity value of the sphere package.

One option to reach a specific porosity is to use TriaxialStressController in which the test will either grow the particles or move the walls. Unfortunately, these two options will  change the volume and/or particle size which are the two parameters I am trying to keep fixed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Adel
