Hi,

Since YADE/DEM deals with packings of granular materials, which
necessarily are porous materials, I think it will be impossible to have
strictly  no voids.

This  being said, plenty of YADE/DEM simulations deal with granular
packings that do have a solid nature, including the case of rock
fracturing, so your final objective should be achievable.

Your description is actually a bit unclear to me, because the "gas" like
nature usually occurs using makeCloud() function [1], while the
randomDensePack() function normally returns a more solid-like packing.

To be sure, what is the porosity value of your packing ?
