FiberGeo is the default module appearing in the module section to the left of the GeoDict GUI at the start of GeoDict. Otherwise, FiberGeo starts when selecting Model→ FiberGeo in the Menu bar. FiberGeo allows generating fibrous nonwoven structures.

Access the available FiberGeo commands via the FiberGeo section.

To open the FiberGeo module, select Model → FiberGeo in the GeoDict GUI menu bar. In the FiberGeo section, a pull-down menu lists all available FiberGeo commands.

Select a command from the pull-down menu and enter the necessary parameters through the corresponding Options’ Edit … button located in its panel.

After setting the input parameters for the selected FiberGeo command, clicking Generate in the FiberGeo section starts the generation. The structure is created and shown in the Visualization area.

Macro files are recorded and saved when selecting Macro → Start Macro Recording... in the menu bar. When recording a macro, Record becomes active and Generate changes to Generate & Record.

Click Cloud to run it in the GeoDict cloud. Click Job Queue to run the object generation on machines connected in your local network (see the High Performance Computing handbook for details). If interested in cloud simulations or job queueing, contact Math2Market to apply for a GeoDict cloud or job queueing license.

The commands Create, Pile, and Predefined generate a new fibrous structure or a new structure in the structure currently in memory. The other commands (Distribute and Add Binder) require a valid initial structure already in memory.

For Create, Pile and Add Binder, a customized Result File Name (*.gdr) should be entered to differentiate the results of FiberGeo generations. The resulting GDR file will be placed inside the chosen project folder.

Often it is useful to save files with information about the structure generation process. For this, many options are available: In addition to the automatically saved GDR file (GeoDict Result) and the structure model in GDT (GeoDict file) and GAD (GeoDict Analytic Data) formats, you may save files from the FiberGeo run in formats Python (GeoDict Macro file), and GPS (GeoDict Project Settings file) in the project folder. Otherwise, the structure model can also be saved by selecting File → Save Structure as… in the Menu bar.
