    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
One approach is a "makeCloud -> compaction", very similar to the problems involving only spheres.
1) using makeCloud, create spheres representing sand
2) using makeCloud, add "fibre-spheres" - spheres with dimensions of the fibers
3) replace "fibre-spheres" with cylinders
4) compact the specimen

> just like a real specimen that you mix fibers with sand well, fibers'
position are uniform and the orientations are random.

are they? (a bit philosophical question, depending on definition of
"random" :-)

> the orientations of the fibers are random

please be more specific. Random is too random word :-)
Do you want the directions to be random with uniform distribution, or just "some randomness" is ok?
see [1,2] (quickly googled)

> "the average dimensions 12 mm in length, 0.0015 mm in diameter" I
think its not working with clumps.

probably..

cheers
Jan
