Status: Open => Answered Jan Stránský proposed the following answer: Hello, > I'm new for YADE welcome :-) Please read [1] and be more specific. Specifically: > abundant cylinder particles what does "abundant" mean in this context? > 4) ... can we create the real disk shape particles in YADE? What does "real disk" exactly mean? Zero thickness "2D" "filled circle", like zero-thickness coin? ----------------------- Some answers: > What the " (0,0,0) & (10,0,0)" part means in this line? See documentation [2]. (0,0,0) is "begin" argument (10,0,0) is "end" argument > what the "fixed=True" means ? See documentation [2]: "See utils.sphere’s documentation for meaning of other parameters." So see [3], where Fixed reads "generate the body with all DOFs blocked". Or read source code [4,5,6] > and the above code seems that we only create one cylindrical particle... So, how can I create more than one cylindrical particles? simply call the same "line" multiple times (of course with appropriate arguments, like different coordinates). > 2) After I create the abundant cylindrical particles, can I use some method to create them in pack like sphere particles? i.e. makeCloud() Yes, e.g. you can use makeCloud and then use the data (centers) to create the cylinders. > 3) And if I would like to create only one layer cylindrical particles, what can I do? Depending on actual needs: - using 2D make cloud - gravity deposition - 3D cloud/packing + crop - ...
