The *.gdr file created during the generation opens in the Result Viewer. In the Results tab, the Report subtab displays the number of nodes, struts, faces, and cells at the top, as well as the average number of struts per node for the random foam structure.
The solid volume percentages of the entire foam, of the struts and faces separately, and of the ratio between the SVP of the struts and the SVP of the faces are listed under Solid Volume Percentage.
Next, the minimal, maximal, and mean length is shown for the struts, and the minimal, maximal, and mean area is shown for the faces.
The subtab Plots provides more detailed information about the strut lengths and face areas. Both the strut length and face area distributions are visualized as histograms.
Through the Data Visualization tab, three files can be loaded into the visualization area of the GeoDict GUI.
With Load *.gad, the Basis Geometry (*.gad), which was defined in the options menu, can be displayed.
It is possible also to Load Tessellation as Index Image (*.g32) by clicking Load *.g32. Here, each foam cell is given an individual ID.
The third option is Load Foam Skeleton (*.gdt), where each number of the Material ID stands for the number of cells that meet at this point. This means Material ID 2 represents the faces between two cells and Material ID 3 represents the struts of the foam. In the right picture, Material ID 2 was set to invisible, so Material ID 3 representing the struts can be seen more clearly.
