GeoDict User Guide 2025

Options

At the top left of the dialog, the name for the file 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 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.

The available units (m, cm, mm, µm, nm and Inch) 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 Create Options, Fiber Options, Fiber Overlap, and Result Options accessible through tabs.

FiberGeo_Create_Dialog

The options are organized into tabs:

  • Create Options
    Determine general properties of the resulting structure, such as size, position, resolution, and solid volume fraction.
  • Fiber Options
    Define the geometrical properties of individual fiber types such as cross-section, length, and orientation. Up to eight different fiber types can be used in one structure.
  • Fiber Overlap
    Choose how Material IDs are defined in positions where objects overlap.
  • Result Options
    Determine if intermediate geometries are saved.

Different Create Fibers Presets

In the bottom of the dialog find several helpful options.
