With ElastoDict-Effective stiffness, the effective elastic properties of a given structure can be computed. Effective elastic properties are the mechanical properties of a homogeneous material which shows the same elastic behavior as the given non‑homogenous material.

In the Effective Stiffness Options dialog, choose the Result File Name (*.gdr) as you wish.

If a GeoDict results file (*.gdr) with the given name already exists in the project folder, a warning message is shown at the start of the creation process. The user can either decide to back up the old file, to overwrite it or cancel and choose a new file name. If no action is taken, the default option back-up is automatically chosen after a waiting time.
