After the Identify Grains calculation is finished, the resulting files are saved in the project folder and a Result Viewer with the GeoDict result file opens automatically. The created GeoDict result file (*.gdr) contains six tabs. The computational results are shown under the Results tab, and can be loaded for visualization via the Grain Visualization tab. The other four tabs (Input Map, Log Map, Post Map, and Metadata) display additional information about the computation.

Find more details on the general functionalities in the Result Viewer user guide.

The Results tab is the central point for the analysis of the identified grains. It is grouped in three subtabs: Report, Plots, and Map. The Report tab shows statistics about the identified grains and the Plots tab contains plot options for the analysis of the results. The Map tab contains all resulting data from the Identify Grains run. This data is the basis for the tables in the Report tab and for the plots in the Plots tab. On the left, the Post-Processing Widget allows you to fine-tune many graphs of the Plots tab. Collapse the Post-Processing Widget by pulling it to the left.

The presented Identify Grains results are computed on this structure with sintered grains, generated with GrainGeo - Sinter. Only Material ID 01 (red) was analyzed.

Post-Processing Widget

Scatter Plot

In the Scatter Plot panel, you can choose two scalar values to be plotted against each other. By default, the Krumbein Sphericity is plotted against the Equivalent Diameters.

Find out more about the Scatter Plot in the Plots topic.

Threshold by Scalar Value

In the Threshold by Scalar Value panel you can choose a scalar value and a thresholding method to classify the grains into a selected number of types.

Find out more about the Threshold by scalar value plot in the Plots topic.

Histogram Plot

Define the options for the histograms in the Plot tab in the Histogram Plot panel. The Weighting and Plot Type are equal for all histograms, while the bin number can be set individually.

Find more about the Histogram Plot Options in the Plots topic.

GSD Field Choices

From the drop-down menu choose the scalar grain properties that you want to visualize. For every chosen grain property, a volume field is created containing the 3D distribution of this property. These volume fields are saved together in a *.gsd file (GeoDict size distribution). Load this file in the Grain Visualization tab under Load Grain-Size Distribution.

In the example below, where Equivalent Diameter and Inner Diameter were chosen, the *.gsd file will contain two volume fields: one with the size distribution of the diameters of volume-equivalent spheres, and one with the inner diameter.
