Hello
I want to fill a defined region with fibers. I am creating fibers calling a text file which consists particles' coordinates and radius. I am calling it using the commands below:
fix pts1 all particletemplate/multisphere 15485863 atom_type 1 density constant 2500 nspheres 10 ntry 1000000 spheres file mult.txt scale 0.01 type 1
fix pdd1 all particledistribution/discrete 15485867 1 pts1 1.0
Here 'mult.txt' has the coordinate information
As an output, I get the region filled with randomly oriented fibers, however, they are in form of stacks, as shown on picture attached. I want them randomly dispersed throughout the volume.
Please suggest a way around it
Thanks

Processor boundaries
That is due to the use of multiple processors.
You will need to do your filling on a single core.
You can then read in your filled container via a restart file using multiple processors.
