In the Deformed Geometry panel, select which information is exported for the deformed geometry.

When Write Deformed Geometry is chosen, a geometry with the current displacements is resampled and saved after each step.

With Write Volume Fields for Deformed Geometry, also the result fields are resampled with the current displacements so that they match the deformed geometries. A GeoDict *.das file is created for this volume fields.

With Write Volume Fractions for Deformed Geometry, the volume fractions for each material ID in each voxel after the deformation are additionally written to the *.das files. This information is used for the computation of the deformed geometries. In general, it is not necessary to save this information. However, it is required for the export of the deformed fields for the final .cap file.

If Write Deformed Fields for Final *.cap File is checked, the fields of the final .cap file are resampled to match the final geometry and exported to the .das file as well. This is necessary if the deformed geometry of the degradation simulation should be used as starting point for a new charging or discharging simulation.

Under Write Volume Field, checking or un-checking the boxes for Displacement, Stress, and Strain determines whether these result outputs are available for visualization and post-processing after the run of the FeelMath solver.

Different from ElastoDict, the stress and strain tensor itself (XX, YY, …) is currently always exported in BatteryDict-Degradation, but Von Mises Stress and Strain can be checked or unchecked.

Besides using GeoDict’s own visualization tools, it is possible to export the solution in the commonly used VTK (Visualization Toolkit) format (see: https://vtk.org/ and, https://www.paraview.org/) by checking Export VTK File (*.vti).
