Polydisperse Spheres

[kartikye]

Hi!

Did you by any chance implement support for spheres of different sizes?

Hi.

So this version doesn't support polydisperse spheres, but it's certainly possible.

I don't have plans to implement it myself since I don't really work on the sorts of problems this solves anymore, but if you're interested in taking a crack at it the changes would basically involve

• taking the diameter property in the packing class, moving it to be a property of each sphere (probably want to use radii since IIRC most calculations involve the sum of two radii which just happens to be a diameter for monodisperse).
• Modify references to it accordingly (probably when making constraints & maintaining the near-neighbor lists)
• Then provide the radii somehow e.g. as another column after the coordinates or as another file.

Got it, Thanks!

Secondly, do you have a licence in mind for the code?

Right, apologies as this was made public quite a while back...Fixed :)
