rhaven is still having a problem:
Hi Robert,
Thank you for the reply. For clarification, I am trying to use the PeriTriaxController with a cloud of clumps. The second case.

I have followed your suggestion of using makeclumpcloud in the same simulation. I dont see a difference however. Some particles are added at the periodic boundaries in the first timestep but none of the clumps are compressed. 
I use 
O.periodic=True
O.cell.setBox(1e-6,1e-6,1e-6) #size of makeclumpcloud volume

Can it be a problem with the settings for the PeriTriaxController, is
there an example case where it is used with clumps? Is there another
periodic controller which I should use instead?

many thanks
Jesse

On another note:
If possible I would like to import the geometry to be compressed, that will allow me to always import the same geometry. If I generate it in this file even if I set the random seed I find I end up with a different packing...
