You can't set the PSD/TSD with these networks. The sizes are dictated by the local density of the initial points. So if several points are close together then they will have small sizes, while pores that are isolated in space have room to accomodate a large pore. You can in principle override the pores sizes by hand (net['pore.diameter'] = <some sizes>, but this runs the risk of having pores that overlap, which creates unphysical values for things like throat length and pore volumes (counting some volume twice). You could potentially control the pore sizes indirectly by controlling how you place the initial points passed to the tessellation, but this is not a function we have in OpenPNM a…
