In the Results - Report subtab, the following values are reported:

• Total number of GAD objects is the number of all analytical objects present in the 3D structure.
• Analyzed number of GAD objects is the number of objects considered in the analysis. This number is different from the above number if Analyze Selected Material ID was chosen. In this case only the number of GAD objects of the selected Material ID is reported here.
• The Number of overlap objects counts how many overlaps between GAD objects are present in the structure.
• The Number of objects in domain (GAD + Overlap) is the sum of the total number of GAD objects and the number of overlap objects inside the current domain. It is possible that some objects lie completely outside of the domain, and in this case, they are not counted here.
• Overlap solid volume percentage is the volume fraction of the overlap objects.

The resulting numbers depend on the way overlapping objects are treated. How overlap is handled is typically defined at the creation of the structure but can also be modified later using the Edit Domain command from the GAD Objects context menu in the status section.

In this case, only the number of objects is reported. No overlap is present in index images as each voxel is assigned to a unique index.

In this example, each overlap object has its own index.

If Analyze Object Contact was checked in the Analyze Options tab, the total number of contacts and the mean coordination number are additionally reported in the Contact section of the report.

Here, the Mean Coordination Number is defined as:

A histogram of the coordination numbers is added to the Results - Plots subtab.

Its functionality is identical to the coordination number histogram in Identify Grains.

More detailed results for all contacts are available under the Results - Map subtab:

Under the Contacts key, for each contact the index numbers of both objects and the number of contact faces are given. In the above example, the first contact is between object number 1 and object number 125 and has a size of 27 voxel faces. The second contact is between object number 1 and object number 1760 and has a size of 35 voxel faces.

Under the Results - Plots subtab, the Contact Area Histogram visualizes the size distribution of the contact areas:

If Analyze Object Volume was checked in the Analyze Options tab, the minimal, maximal, and mean volume are stated in the Object Volume section.

Furthermore, an Object volume histogram table is created based on the Volume Histogram settings defined in the Options dialog.

The object volume histogram is graphically shown under the Result - Plots subtab. In the plot, the values for each bin are visualized as bars.

You can edit the volume histogram afterwards in the post-processing panel on the left-hand side of the Report tab. The table and plot update when you click the Apply button after changing the parameters.

More parameters can be defined by clicking Plot Options at the bottom of the panel and choose Edit Axis Settings or Edit Graph Styles for the desired plot. See also the Result Viewer user guide for detailed explanations.

The X-Axis pull-down menu allows choosing whether the components should be classified based on volume (Volume) or based on volume equivalent sphere diameter (Equivalent Diameter).

For the Y-Axis pull-down menu, the Relative Count Probability provides the number of components in each bin normalized to the total number of components. The Cumulative Count Probability is the sum of the Relative Count Probability over all bins starting from the bin with the smallest value. Relative Volume Probability gives the volume of the components within one bin normalized to the total volume of all components. The Cumulative Volume Probability sums up the Relative Volume Probability of each bin of the histogram starting from the smallest one.

The histogram Mode offers the choice between generating an Automatic Histogram without further specifications or to Give Min. and Max Value for the parameter defined in the X-Axis pull-down menu (Volume or Equivalent Diameter).

In the latter case, either Min. Volume and Max. Volume or Min. Diameter and Max. Diameter (depending on the choice for X-Axis) can be directly entered here.

The number of Histogram Bins determines the number of rows in the Object Volume Histogram table and the number of bars in the plot.
