New question #690224 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/690224

Hey guys! So I have been having trouble finding a way in which to obtain the volume fraction for a filled coaxial cylinder model of spheres using utils.getDepthProfiles. I imported a quarter cylinder model via solidworks (to minimize computational complexity) and filled the outer coaxial cylinder with thousands of spheres with varying radii. The objective here is to use the utils.getDepthProfile for a portion of the cylinder volume and I am unsure how to print out the resultant volume fraction. YadeBook helps me with the parameters (the volume of the right cylinder is the first float parameter that I had calculated previously), but I am unsure about how to use the latter two parameters, or better yet, how to use the function to extract the volume fraction at all (I am a novice at programming). Under "Tracking Volume Fraction" is where I am having trouble implementing or finding a spot to extract the overall volume fraction after filling the model. How should I approach this based on this code sample?

Thank you for any help or advice given!
