There is an other thing I don't understand with this method.
Following [1] it is possible to save created packings in a database. This way they will be taken from there if the same packing shall be created again.
For using this you need to set 'memoizeDb' to the name (path) of the database.
Obviously [2] this only works for spheresInCell>0 that is periodic packings. If I understand this point right periodic packings are related to simulations with periodic boundary conditions?
Why is it not possible to reload packings in not periodic simulations?
