Question #295158 on Yade changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
As for your first example, getting a box made of spheres should be quite easy using "predicates", see for instance
https://yade-dem.org/doc/user.html#boolean-operations-on-predicates
and the previous paragraphs.

This predicate method should allow you to get particles assemblies
conforming a wide variety of shapes and address hopefully any situation
you want.
