Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hi,

As for myself, I most often separate the generation procedure (involving
indeed makeCloud and compaction procedure) from the main simulation
itself, using text files describing the packing and export.text and
ymport.text functions:

- at the end of a first simulation "generationProcedure.py", I save my packing in a ".spheres" files using export.text
- then, the main simulation is done in a second simulation "mainSimulation.py" that imports (using ymport.text) this .spheres file

It seems you have similar functions for clumps:
https://yade-dem.org/doc/yade.export.html#yade.export.textClumps
https://yade-dem.org/doc/yade.ymport.html#yade.ymport.textClumps
so, hopefully, it could give you some ideas.

Jerome
