Robert Caulk proposed the following answer:
Hello,

>Does it make sense to you or it is not the expected result?

xSectionWeibullShapeParameter is the distribution of alpha where:

FnMax = pi * (alpha * min(r1,r2))²

So statistically speaking, the distribution of FnMax depends on the
distribution of particles multiplied by the weibull distribution,
squared. Clearly further complicated by the "minimum" function.

If you want the distribution of FnMax to be exactly that of your
assigned weibull distribution, you are better off iterating on the bonds
individually in python and setting the FnMax accordingly.

for i in O.interactions:
  alpha = weibullDeviate()
  i.phys.FnMax = alpha 

Relevant thread [1].

Cheers.

Robert
