The core of crack analysis in GeoDict lies within the (Finite Element ELasticity on Microstructures) solver. Unlike traditional FEM software that requires complex manual meshing, FeelMath works directly on the voxel data (the 3D pixels of your scan or model). 1. FeelMath-VOX
Identify the "weak spots" in a composite or porous medium.
What are you analyzing (e.g., carbon fiber, concrete, rock)? geodict crack
Give each phase (fiber, matrix, pore) its mechanical stiffness and strength limits.
Tweak the microstructure (e.g., fiber orientation) and immediately see if it stops the crack. 🔬 How to Get Started The core of crack analysis in GeoDict lies
This solver is optimized for large-scale microstructures. It calculates local stress and strain distributions, which are the precursors to cracking. If the stress in a specific voxel exceeds the material's strength, "damage" occurs. 2. Failure Criteria
Determine the fracture toughness of new designs. 🛠️ The Tools: FeelMath & Beyond FeelMath-VOX Identify the "weak spots" in a composite
Use the post-processing tools to watch the crack propagate through the 3D volume.
In the aerospace and automotive sectors, engineers use GeoDict to study and fiber-matrix debonding . By simulating cracks, they can design tougher composites that weigh less but resist impact better. Digital Rock Physics
Run dozens of "virtual breaks" in the time it takes to set up one lab test.
