Huihuang Xia is still having a problem:
Thanks Robert,
I added the following function at the bottom of session1 and using
PyRunner call this function, but the exported text file contains
nothing.
Here is my code:

sp.makeCloud(mn,mx,-1,0.3333,num_spheres,False, 0.95,seed=1) #"seed" make the "random" generation always the same
sps=O.bodies.append([sphere(center,rad,material='spheres') for center,rad in sp])
#or alternatively (higher level function doing exactly the same):
#sp.toSimulation(material='spheres')

## TriaxialStressController will be used to control stress and strain. It controls particles size and plates positions.

## switch stress/strain control using a bitmask. What is a bitmask, huh?!
## Say x=1 if stess is controlled on x, else x=0. Same for for y and z, which are 1 or 0.
## Then an integer uniquely defining the combination of all these tests is: mask = x*1 + y*2 + z*4
## to put it differently, the mask is the integer whose binary representation is xyz, i.e.
## "100" (1) means "x", "110" (3) means "x and y", "111" (7) means "x and y and z", etc.
