Please either provide the content of the file, or make your code using alternatives, like facetCylinder

cases but for my case it does not seem like a rotating drum.

Thanks for clarification.
Actually, it IS proper rotating drum and is "right" :-)
It is just the way it is displayed, particles positions wrapped inside the periodic cell, not outside.
To overcome this issue, you can:
- postprocess the positions to look more natural
- put the drum and particles to the "center" of the cell (i.e. the visualization of particles is natural). Note that the results should be exactly the same as in the "default" case.

Cheers
Jan
