Karol Brzezinski proposed the following answer:
Hi Soheil,
As you can find in the documentation [1]
"distributeMass (bool) – if True, given distribution will be used to distribute sphere’s mass rather than radius of them."
So if you set distributeMass=True , you obtain PSD based on the
particles' weight.
The makeCloud() can only create loose packing inside a box shape. So you
need to create a container much higher than your expected sample. Then
generate a cloud inside this container and allow the particles to fall.
Since you are beginning with Yade, I recommend reading first chapters of
documentation (Introduction, Tutorial, DEM formulation, User's Manual),
at least the Tutorial [3]. You can find there most of the answers
(e.e., gravity deposition example [4]).
Cheers,
Karol
