Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hi,

Does "initial porosity" mean the porosity after these commands:

sp=pack.randomDensePack(pred,radius=0.005,spheresInCell=num_spheres,material='spheres')#returnSpherePack=True)
O.bodies.append(sp)

?
(it would help if you specified in the question that you replaced the use of makeCloud with randomDensePack)

If yes, the answer is no, according to the corresponding function's doc
[*] which does not include any porosity-related attribute.
randomDensePack() actually is a sort of black box function which
performs the same kind of simulations than the "original triaxial
script", see [**] for details.

It is not supposed to be used in conjunction with these triaxial scripts
(no need to do twice the same job)
