GeoDict News

GeoDict enables simulations to determine the water permeability of waterproof materials such as membranes. The results help identify the limits of membrane technology.

In the following example, a nonwoven is simulated with GeoDict using a µCT scan and a digital twin is created. This digital twin can be used to calculate a wide range of mechanical and physical properties.

In GeoDict, material properties such as density, viscosity, conductivity and tortuosity are provided in a material database. Advanced properties are also available for use in mechanical and electrochemical simulations.

We are very excited that GeoDict 2023 contains a new solver in ElastoDict. In FlowDict, we use our very fast and efficient LIR solver which is now also coming to ElastoDict. In a first step, we introduce the possibility to use our self-developed LIR solver to compute the effective stiffness of structures in GeoDict.

The micro-and nanostructure of a Lithium-ion battery electrode greatly influences its properties. Battery optimization must begin by understanding the electrode structure at these scales. An essential piece in this puzzle are insights about the distribution of the carbon-black and binder domain (CBD) in cathodes and of the binder domain in anodes.

Modern segmentation methods bring many advantages for the analysis of FIB-SEM images. In this comparison of segmentation methods, we only employed image processing methods that can be carried out by non experts.

In this study, we run simulations on a filter structure with different pleat counts and volumetric flow rates. We find find the local minimum of the pressure drop and the ideal configuration between filter area and pleat count.
