Method Details [hide private]

__init__(...)
(Constructor)

 

Initialises a particle packer in preparation for filling a 3D volume with hexahedral aggregates whose radii are in the specified range. The packing will terminate after the specified number of insertion failures. The iterative solver will compute only the specified maximum number of iterations. Particles are permitted to overlap by the specified tolerance.

Parameters:
  • minRadius (double) - the minimum radius of particles to pack
  • maxRadius (double) - the maximum radius of particles to pack
  • insertFails (int) - the number of particle insertion failures before the packer terminates
  • maxIterations (int) - the maximum number of iterations of the solver
  • tolerance (double) - the overlap tolerance permitted
  • seed (bool) - randomize the random number generator if True
Returns: void
Overrides: object.__init__

(inherited documentation)

generatePacking(...)

 

Generates a particle assembly to fill the specified volume.

Parameters:
  • volume (AVolume3D) - the 3D volume to fill with particles
  • ntable (MNTable3D) - the neighbours table particles are inserted into
  • groupID (int) - the group ID assigned to particles
  • tag (int) - the tag assigned to the generated particles (optional if not followed by list)
Returns: void
Overrides: InsertGenerator3D.generatePacking

generatePackingMaxVolume(...)

 
Parameters:
  • maxVolume (float) - the maximum cumulative volume of the inserted particles
Overrides: InsertGenerator3D.generatePackingMaxVolume
