Xifan Li gave more information on the question:
I have tried to set the confining pressure into this model. But it
didn't work. An error occurred while running.

The following is my modified code:

from __future__ import print_function
sigmaIso = -1e5

# load parameters from file if run in batch
# default values are used if not run from batch
readParamsFromTable(rMean=.03,rRelFuzz=0,maxLoad=1.5e4,minLoad=1e1)
# make rMean, rRelFuzz, maxLoad accessible directly as variables later
from yade.params.table import *

# create box with free top, and ceate loose packing inside the box
from yade import pack, qt, plot

O.periodic = True

O.bodies.append(geom.facetBox((2,0,2),(2,.03,2),wallMask=31))
#O.bodies.append(geom.facetBox((0,0,0),(.5,.03,.5),wallMask=31))
sp=pack.SpherePack()
sp.makeCloud((1,0,0),(3,0.03,3.5),rMean=rMean,rRelFuzz=rRelFuzz, periodic = True)
#sp.makeCloud((0,0,0),(-0.5,0.03,-0.25),rMean=rMean,rRelFuzz=rRelFuzz)
sp.toSimulation()

triax=TriaxialStressController(
	## TriaxialStressController will be used to control stress and strain. It controls particles size and plates positions.
	
	thickness = 0,
	stressMask = 2,
	internalCompaction=True, # If true the confining pressure is generated by growing particles
)
