GadGeo Section
The heading GadGeo appears in the module section when selecting Model → GadGeo in the menu bar to begin working with GadGeo.
GadGeo can be used to Create/Add GAD Objects. Use this command to create new structures as a practical way for building structures consisting of few objects with deterministic properties. New forms of particles can be generated as combined objects. Furthermore, this command can be used to add objects to existing structures, e.g., to add deterministic objects to stochastic (random) structures.
The dropdown menu options Edit GAD Objects, Add & Import, Algorithms and GAD GeoApps contain further submenus.
Under Edit GAD Objects, it is possible to edit, scale, rotate or delete objects. It is possible to edit material, size, and position of objects.
Under Add & Import, you may add GAD objects from a .gad file. The Import GAD Objects from File command was previously available through ImportGeo-Base.
In addition, Algorithms are available to Remove Object Overlap, to Add Periodic Copies, to Expose Periodic Objects, to Coarsen Curved Fibers, to Cut Fibers to Domain, to Match SVF Distribution, to Ungroup List-Objects, to Combine GAD Objects and to Re-Voxelize GAD Objects depending on the selection from the pull-down menu.
Additionally, under GAD GeoApps, example scripts show how GadGeo commands can be used to create complex 3D structures.
All GadGeo commands are also available through the context menu of the project status panel by right-clicking on the GAD Objects line.
Important! All GadGeo processes are run on the structure in GAD format currently loaded in memory and no files are saved during these processes. Select File → Save Structure As…, in the menu bar, to save the modified structures in GAD format |
