Hi,
I'd like to ask how to use cellRepeat[1] function to stack several copies of a cell along one direction. One illustration can be found in Fig. 3 in [2].

I use the following MWE (from[3]) to make a sample in a cell, the MWE pauses after the sample reaches the target isotropic state. I'd like to reproduce several of the cell at that state, and stack them together along one direction, but I didn't make it after some attempts. Here is the MWE, it may take around 50 seconds for running.
############ MWE begins ###############
from __future__ import print_function
sigmaIso = -100e3

from yade import pack, qt, plot
mn,mx=Vector3(0,0,0),Vector3(0.07,0.14,0.07)
O.periodic = True
O.cell.setBox(.07,.14,.07)
sp = pack.SpherePack()
sp.makeCloud(mn,mx,-1,0.3333,num=7000, periodic=True)
sp.toSimulation()

O.engines = [
        ForceResetter(),
        InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb()]),
        InteractionLoop([Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_ScGeom()], [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys()], [Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack()]),
        PeriTriaxController(
                label='triax',
                goal=(sigmaIso, sigmaIso, sigmaIso),
                stressMask=7,
                dynCell=True,
                maxStrainRate=(10, 10, 10),
                maxUnbalanced=.1,
                relStressTol=1e-3,
                doneHook='compactionFinished()'
        ),
        NewtonIntegrator(damping=.2),
]
O.dt = .5 * PWaveTimeStep()
O.trackEnergy = True

def compactionFinished():
    print('stage1 finished','sxx',triax.stress[0],'syy',triax.stress[1],'szz',triax.stress[2])
    O.cell.trsf=Matrix3.Identity
    triax.goal = (sigmaIso, -0.1, sigmaIso)
    triax.stressMask = 5
    triax.maxStrainRate = (1., 0.5, 1.)
    triax.maxUnbalanced = 10
    O.pause()
    # here I want to repeat the current cell

def triaxFinished():
	print('Finished')
	O.pause()

############ MWE finish ###############
Thanks very much!
