Question #292846 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/292846

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hi Varun,
I meant to use clumps only for the stage of defining initial packing for
your actual simulation. The steps I meant are: 1) use makeCloud to create
aggregates
2) use randomDensePack to divide each aggregate into a set of spherical
particles
3) apply some compression to make the packing of aggregates denser

1) and 2) you do already, the rest is just to make the packing overall
denser

cheers
Jan
