GeoDict User Guide 2025

Options

At the top left of the dialog, the name for the file containing the generation results can be entered in the Result File Name (*.gdr) box. The default name can be kept, or a new name can be chosen, fitting the current project.

The result files are saved in the chosen project folder (File Choose Project Folder, in the Menu bar). If a GeoDict result file (*.gdr) with the given name already exists in the project folder, a warning message is shown at the start of the creation process. You can either decide to rename the chosen file name to a new one, to cancel the generation process, to overwrite or to back up the old file. When nothing is selected, GeoDict uses the Back-Up option after a waiting time.

The available units (m, cm, mm, µm, nm and Inch) are selectable from the pull-down menu at the top right of the dialog. When the units are changed, the entered values are adjusted automatically.

PaperGeo_LayDown_Dialog

The options are organized into tabs:

  • Lay Down Options
    Determine general properties of the resulting paper model such as size, resolution, and the stopping criterion for the generation.
  • Fiber Options
    Define the geometrical properties of the individual fiber types such as cross-section, length, and orientation. Up to seven different fiber types can be used in one paper structure.
  • Fiber Motion
    Control the way the fibers are laid down (initial fiber positions and their movements to the final position).
  • Result Options
    Determine how the result files are saved.
