New question #255845 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/255845

Hi,

I am a beginer in YADE. I want to prepare a cloud with defined distribution (table of psdSizes and psdCumm are from a file) and with defined porosity. Is it possible to obtain with a simple script like this below (no 1)? Why doesn't work the option "porosity="? The cloud has porosity 0.75 what is too big. I know from an experiment, that the bed has porosity equal to 0.41.

Alternatively, I try to resolve the problem with a trixial test, but the porosity is still too big (no 2) - it is about 0.46-0.47. Is in general the script no 2 prepared correctly for my problem?

Which way is better and what should be changed to resolve my problem?

I am using YADE 1.11.0-41-6f921d5~trusty.

I will be grateful for your help,

Wojtek

l_x = 0.3 #[m]
l_y = 0.6 #[m]
l_z = 0.3 #[m]

file = 'p06_25'
number = 5000
n_band = sum(1 for line in open(file+'.txt'))

input = open(file+'.txt','r')
psdSizes = []
psdCumm = []
try:
  for line in input:
    psdSizes.append(float(line[0:16]))    
    psdCumm.append(float(line[18:]))
finally:
  input.close()

psdCumm[0] = 0.0
psdCumm[n_band-1] = 1.0

corner1 = Vector3(0.0,0.0,0.0)
corner2 = Vector3(l_x,l_y,l_z)
sp = pack.SpherePack()
sp.makeCloud(corner1,corner2,psdSizes=psdSizes,psdCumm=psdCumm,num=number,porosity=0.42,distributeMass=True,periodic=False)
O.bodies.append([sphere(s[0],s[1],wire=False) for s in sp])

print ' particles = ',len(O.bodies)
