Random Foams are based on the Voronoi tessellation (also called Voronoi decomposition, Voronoi partition, or Dirichlet tessellation). It is a way of dividing space into a number of regions. A set of points (called seeds, sites, or generators) is specified beforehand and for each seed there will be a corresponding region consisting of all points closer to that seed than to any other. The regions are called Voronoi cells.

For generating random foams, please select Random Foam in the FoamGeo module section and click on Edit....

For the Random Foam, the dialog box contains the tabs Basis Geometry, Foam Options, and Output.

The available units (m, cm, mm, µm, nm, and Inch) are selectable from the pull-down menu in the upper right corner.

A customized Result File Name (*.gdr) should be entered to differentiate the results of different FoamGeo runs. The generated result file (*.gdr) is automatically placed inside the chosen project folder.

In the upper right corner of the Foam Options dialog, click Load ‘Identify Pores’ Result… and select a GeoDict result file (*.gdr) from a PoroDict Identify Pores run. The data from the *.gdr file is now directly loaded into FoamGeo.
