    Status: Open => Answered

Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hi,

Yade is unable to put more clumps because of the algorithm of
makeClumpCloud [*] which is similar, I'm actually guessing..., to
makeCloud

In these functions YADE tries to insert one clump (for makeClumpCloud)
after another in a given volume. Successive tries are made blindly
(randomly), and fail in case some overlap is detected with a previously
inserted clump. This is what happens here.

You may consider the volume to be "quite large", it seems it is not
large enough for such an algorithm.

PS : it's kind of a deception to see commented i.e. useless commands in
your script even though you already were directed to https://yade-
dem.org/wiki/Howtoask which tries to stress the need for MWE for better
answers to better questions.. ;-)
