Hi, I want to pour the particles into a container and stir. However, the particle deposition rate is too slow. How can I accelerate the process?

Here is my script.

import random
import math
from yade import geom, pack, utils, plot, ymport, export
import numpy as np

#particle parameters
Density = 3000
FrictionAngle = 0
PoissonRatio = 0.5
Young = 300e6
Damp = 0.7
AvgRadius = 0.01
N_particles = 20000

#Wall constants
WDensity = 3000
WFrictionAngle = 0.0
WPoissonRatio = 0.5
WYoung = 500e9


SphereMat = O.materials.append(FrictMat(young = Young, poisson = PoissonRatio, frictionAngle = radians(FrictionAngle), density = Density))
WallMat = O.materials.append(FrictMat(young = WYoung, poisson = WPoissonRatio, frictionAngle = radians(WFrictionAngle), density = WDensity))

center = (0, 0, 0)
diameter = 2
height = 1
cylinder = geom.facetCylinder(center=center, radius=diameter/2, height=height, segmentsNumber=80, wallMask=6,material=WallMat)
O.bodies.append(cylinder)

### funnel
# Define cylinder with funnel parameters
center2 = (0, 0, 1)
diameter2 = 0.4
height2 = 1

# create cylindrical body
cylinder2 = geom.facetCylinder(center=center2, radius=diameter2/2, height=height2, segmentsNumber=80, wallMask=4,material=WallMat)
O.bodies.append(cylinder2)

# Define cylinder with funnel parameters
center1 = (0,0,height2/2+1)
dBunker = 2
dOutput = 0.4
hBunker = 0
hOutput = 1
hPipe = 0

# create funnel as a bunker
funnel = geom.facetBunker(center=center1, dBunker=dBunker, dOutput=dOutput, hBunker=hBunker,hOutput=hOutput, hPipe=hPipe, segmentsNumber=80, wallMask=4,material=WallMat)
O.bodies.append(funnel)

# Define cylinder with funnel parameters
center3 = (0, 0, 4.5)
diameter3 = 2
height3 = 4

# create cylindrical body
cylinder3 = geom.facetCylinder(center=center3, radius=diameter3/2, height=height3, segmentsNumber=80, wallMask=4,material=WallMat)
O.bodies.append(cylinder3)
