Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hello,

This is a very classical YADE question.

As the 1st lines of the doc [1] normally say, calling makeCloud() alone
is never enough to obtain a satisfactory packing, unless you wanna study
gas instead of solids.

The correct procedure to obtain a desired void ratio is described in the
example [2]. It should also be possible to find related
questions/answers on this Launchpad interface.
