µCT-scans are a powerful tool to gain deep insights and ideas for innovation and for quality control in material engineering. The GeoDict 2019 edition provides the tools for a better understanding of CT-images and paves the way to unraveling the challenges of modern material engineering.

For the new development of many materials and the analysis of existing materials, it is crucial to understand fluid flow phenomena and thermal or electrical conductivity processes. Many of these important physical properties are computed with the FlowDict and ConductoDict modules in GeoDict. Among others, properties such as air and water permeability in woven fabrics, pressure drop in filter media, absolute permeability of digital rock models or thermal conductivity in gas diffusion layers are calculated with push-button ease.

Improving battery materials is a challenge. The desired properties are not independent and sometimes, even conflicting. BatteryDict allows testing the digitally developed battery material directly in a charging simulation, using the integrated BEST solver. Compared to the established BestMicro-solver, BatteryDict is backed by the BESTMicroFFT-solver, based on fast Fourier transformations, that allows the analysis of larger structures.
