This tutorial guides you through the first steps with GeoDict. You will learn the important concepts of GeoDict with the help of a very simple example. Afterwards, try out your own ideas.
Topics of this tutorial
Set Up Your Tutorial Project
Set up a folder for the downloaded input files and precomputed results. Learn where GeoDict stores intermediate and results data on your hard drive and set a project folder to save and store the results of this tutorial.
Create a 3D Structure Model
Generate the default glass fiber nonwoven with FiberGeo. Learn general features of GeoDict's command option dialogs.
Visualize the 3D Structure
Visualize the generated structure in 2D or 3D. Slice through the structure, rotate and zoom using the mouse. Change the colors and visibility of each material.
Run a Flow Simulation
Use FlowDict to start a flow simulation. Learn how to view the solver log and how to cancel the simulation from the progress bar.
Instead of FiberGeo, the structure modeling may also be done with any other structure generator in GeoDict. In this case, the following steps can still be done, but the resulting values will differ.
If PoroDict is not licensed, the flow simulation parts can still be done, as they do not use the results from PoroDict.
