Zhicheng Gao is still having a problem:
>The problem is that at the "faces" the particles would not match on opposite faces. It would behave like there would be a crack every cell distance.
(The periodicity would work ok, however)

I know what you mean, that is, the particles up and down in the same
direction will not be embedded in the grooves formed by the particles. I
want to know if this will have a big impact on the results of the three-
axis experiment? After the erosion, the particle distribution is not
uniform and it is anisotropic. Can period boundary be used for the
anisotropic sample?

>I meant to create a new periodic packing from scratch. But instead of creating a random packing, you would need to impose the eroded characteristics.
The challenge is how to identify the "characteristics" and then how to impose them on the packing.

This feature is also what I am researching. In other words, is it best
to delete the wall directly and impose periodic boundary conditions?
