| GeoDict Vision |
To be an integrated simulation environment that addresses the 21st centrury challenges of new materials developments.
|
| GeoDict Mission |
To help our customers reduce R&D cost in terms of time
and money for their material and product
developments. Make generally accessible Fraunhofer ITWM's
research results as standardized computational experiments
using state of the art simulation software in order to
minimize the number of real experiments.

| What does GeoDict do? |
- GeoDict generates 3d material models in the computer or reconstructs them from tomographic images.
- GeoDict discretizes and solves partial differential equations to predict material properties.
- Structure Gallery
