Karol, Thanks for your reply.

---I think that you need to be much more specific. For example, is each of the 
800 gts files modelling a single particle?
---Yes. Each GTS file denotes one single particle.

---Do you try to reproduce the exact shape of the sample (particles in their 
corresponding locations from the very beginning)? What code do you use to 
generate clumps? 
---Yes. I'd like to reproduce the exact shape of the sample (particles in their 
corresponding locations from the very beginning). The code I used to generate 
the clump is presented below:

def createSphere(pred, ndivmin, spacing):
        aabb = pred.aabb()
        dim0 = aabb[1][0] - aabb[0][0]
        bodyList = []
        ndiv = ndivmin
        while len(bodyList)==0:
                radius = dim0 / ndiv # get some characteristic dimension, use 
it for radius
                bodyList = O.bodies.append(pack.regularHexa(pred, radius = 
radius, gap = -radius, color = 
[random.random(),random.random(),random.random()], material = sphereMat))
                ndiv = ndiv + spacing

---Can you prepare the MVE[1]? If not possible, please describe your workflow. 
--- I can provide the MVE. But I don't know how to provide my GTS.  I just 
imported gts files into Yade and created the surface, then generate spheres 
using the 'pack.regularHexa' function.

---What do you mean that the sample shrinks in the height direction? Smaller 
than expected after deposition, or did something actually shrink?
--- This means that when the unbalanced force ratio tends to be stable, the 
height of the sample is smaller than the real value. The reason behind this, I 
guess, is the voids between clumps since clumps are smaller than the gts 
surface.
