Re: [Question #254578]: Reducing spheres radius

 

Question #254578 on Yade changed:

Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
Hello,
growParticle() or growParticles() with a multiplier less than 1 will do what you need [1].
It will update inertia optionally, which you maybe don't want if you have mass conservation.

@Jan, 
Your suggestion will not work. The interactions keep a copy of radii, thus decreasing the radius directly will have strictly no effect on an initialy stable packing.
