The Thickness Estimation command calculates the solid volume percentage (SVP) of the material in the different spatial directions and measures the material thickness. The SVP is computed in the plane normal to the direction of interest and the average value for each of those planes is reported.

You can select up to 6 fitting functions, Fit 1 to Fit 6, consisting of piecewise linear segments that best describe the type of porous media. For each selected fitting type, GeoDict solves an optimization problem to identify the best-fitting function. The thickness of the solid medium, of the inlet/outlet, and of the medium’s surfaces is then derived from this function. Furthermore, the SVP of these regions is computed.
