Create Cellulose Fibers

With Create Cellulose Fibers you can form paper structures of desired thickness and grammage. After choosing Create Cellulose Fibers and clicking the Create Options’ Edit… button, the Create Cellulose Fibers Options dialog box opens.

At the top left of the dialog box, the name for the files containing the generation results can be entered in the Result File Name (*.gdr) box. The default name can be kept, or a new name can be chosen fitting the current project.

The available units (m, mm, µm, nm, and Voxel) are selectable from the pull-down menu at the top right of the dialog. When the units are changed, the entered values are adjusted automatically.

The options are organized into four tabs:
Create Options Determine the general properties of the resulting structure model, such as size, position, resolution, and solid volume percentage. Fiber Options Define the geometrical properties of individual fiber types such as cross-section, length, and orientation. Up to eight different types can be used in one structure. Fiber Overlap Deal with how to define the material ID in locations where objects in the structure overlap. The overlap locations may exhibit other properties than those of the original materials. Result Options The Result Options determine if and how the resulting geometry is saved.

Result Options
The Result Options determine if and how the resulting geometry is saved.

The result files are saved in the chosen project folder (File → Choose Project Folder, in the menu bar). If a GeoDict result file (*.gdr) with the given name already exists in the project folder, a warning message is shown at the start of the creation process. You can either decide to rename the chosen file name to a new one, to cancel the generation process, to overwrite or to back up the old file. When nothing is selected, GeoDict uses the Back-Up option after a waiting time.
