Hello,

I am trying to compact a cloud in a periodic cell using PeriIsoCompressor. 
At first it seems to work well : the cloud gets denser until  PeriIsoCompressor.sigma.mean() reaches the target mean stress. But when I compare PeriIsoCompressor.sigma to getStress(), the mean stress is completely different (~26 times lower).

Please see below a mwe and its output when using yade at git revision 4852d5601.

Am I correctly using PeriIsoCompressor ?

Thanks in advance,

Sacha

## MWE ##
O.periodic = True
O.cell.setBox((1, 1, 1))

sp=pack.SpherePack()
sp.makeCloud(minCorner=(0,0,0), maxCorner=(1, 1, 1), rMean=5e-3, rRelFuzz=5e-4, num=5000, periodic=True, seed=42)
sp.toSimulation()

iso_comp = PeriIsoCompressor(charLen=5e-3, stresses=[-1e5], doneHook="O.pause()")
O.engines = O.engines + [iso_comp]

O.run(wait=True)

print("\nPIC mean stress: ", iso_comp.sigma.mean())
print("getStress mean stress: ", getStress().trace()/3)
