Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hi Felipe,

ellipsoids are currently not implemented in Yade. A workaround is to create
a clump composed of overlaping spheres with surface approximating an
ellipsoid.

inEllipsoid should work in the same way like other pack.predicates, like
pack.inCylinder, pack.inAlignedBox, see [1]

did you mean pack.inCylinder? if yes, changing inCylinder to inEllipsoid
(and probably the arguments) should be enough..

cheers
Jan
