GridGeo
models and generates periodic materials
GridGeo models virtual periodic materials (patterns), that is, regular configurations of cylinders, spheres and drill-holes. The holes can be elliptical or rectangular, may change their diameters with depth and may have a linear or curved gradient.
The geometric models are availabe as 3-dimensional images, like µCT-images after the segmentation, or as analytic description (*.gad, GeoDictanalytic data). The analytic description is practical for processing in CAD-programs and can be exported as surface triangulation (*.stl-file).
Material properties like pore-size distribution, flow resistivity (permeability, pressure drop), effective thermal and electrical conductivity, effective ellasticity, effective diffusion, filter efficency, filter capacity, and many more, can be calculated directly on the geometry models, using otherGeoDict modules, e.g. PoroDict, ConductoDict, FlowDict, ElastoDict, DiffuDict or FilterDict.
