TW.triangulate()	#compute regular Delaunay triangulation, don’t construct tesselation
TW.computeVolumes()	#will silently tesselate the packing, then compute volume of each Voronoi cell
TW.volume(10)		#get volume associated to sphere of id 10
TW.setState(0)		#store current positions internaly for later use as the "0" state
O.run(100,True)		#make particles move a little (let's hope they will!)
TW.setState(1)		#store current positions internaly in the "1" (deformed) state

#Now we can define strain by comparing states 0 and 1, and average them at the particles scale
