New question #695561 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/695561

Hello,

I made some changes to Bruno's Triaxial code as follows. The problem is, I want to have the ratio of radii as R_max/R_min=3, however, when I get the output of radii at the end of my code, it seems all particles have the same size as 0.6 mm (as the R_avr is even 0.6 mm as well).  Is there anything wrong with my code regarding radius defining or I must use another way to make the sample?

Thank you for your help.
