Question #691171 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/691171
Status: Open => Answered Jan Stránský proposed the following answer: One approach is a "makeCloud -> compaction", very similar to the problems involving only spheres. 1) using makeCloud, create spheres representing sand 2) using makeCloud, add "fibre-spheres" - spheres with dimensions of the fibers 3) replace "fibre-spheres" with cylinders 4) compact the specimen > just like a real specimen that you mix fibers with sand well, fibers' position are uniform and the orientations are random. are they? (a bit philosophical question, depending on definition of "random" :-) > the orientations of the fibers are random please be more specific. Random is too random word :-) Do you want the directions to be random with uniform distribution, or just "some randomness" is ok? see [1,2] (quickly googled) > "the average dimensions 12 mm in length, 0.0015 mm in diameter" I think its not working with clumps. probably.. cheers Jan [1] https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/686692 [2] https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/294529 -- You received this question notification because your team yade-users is an answer contact for Yade. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
