How to calculate the particle size distribution of polyhedral particles ?Thanks！！
Hi,
The scale is either 'scale by radius' or 'scale by volume'.
This isn't the best definition as 'scale by radius' is essentially just a linear scaling. For example your particle is in a box approximately (12,10,10) and you set scale by radius as 2 then it will generate a particle (24,20,20) as all linear dimensions will be scaled equally.
Scale by volume is really just the same thing, all linear dimensions will be scaled by 2^(1/3) meaning the volume will be scaled by 2.
Then all the distributions, normal, random, uniform follow the same process. You set a scaling factor which is related to the bounding box of the particle prototpye, if its a normal distribution this standard deviation you set is the scaled variable also.

How to define the diameter of polyhedra ? Is it calculated by equal volume sphere or circumscribed sphere / circle ?
