Hello all,

I am a begginer on Yade and I am trying to make a simple slope stability simulation. What I am trying to do is just create a slope and check the effects if  the slope toe is cut. I am considering a saturated soil, so I am not incorporating the effects of suction.  I am struggling with the creation of the geometry. I have checked the manual and the examples and it seems that I can create a paralepiped using the function "randomDensePack" from the module "pack", giving it as an argument a predicated created using the function "inAlignedBox" from the same module. 

In the Catalano thesis (https://yade-dem.org/w/images/a/af/SlopeStability.pdf) page 32, it is mentioned that the slope geometry was created by removing a number of spheres through geometrical conditions. I have found the method "erase" of the "BodyContainer" class, so I think I have to delete the elements from the O.bodies object, but I tried to find an example or something in the documentation about how to remove particles based in geometrical conditions and I am stuck with it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

In another topic, I am struggling with the size of the spheres as well. If you have any comment that points me in the right direction it will be excellent. Thanks in advanced.

Cheers,

Mario
