Air- and Liquid Filtration / Re: Pleated filter element with pleat deformation

« on: September 24, 2025, 09:40:14 AM »

Hello Mark,
yes, your understanding is correct. The pressure is applied throughout the complete structure. But for some applications you can approximate the pressure drop by applying pore pressure to the material on one side of the filter (e.g. inner side of the pleated filter). You can apply pore pressure in ElastoDict under Deformations – Macroscopic Load Case – Fluid Pressure.
In this workaround, it is important that the material on the other side of the filter is not defined as pore anymore, but e.g. as a very soft solid. Otherwise, the pore pressure would work here, too.

Best regards,
Lilli

Dear Mark,
at the moment, a direct coupling between ElastoDict and FlowDict is not possible.
A possible workaround is to simulate the pressure drop in FlowDict and use the resulting pressure as the load input for an ElastoDict compression simulation.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Best regards,
Lilli

CT, µCT and FIB-SEM / Re: Multi-Directional FiberFind

Hello Jack,

yes, the noise might be also a problem.

There are some Expert Setting, which you can use in that case. Please include the attached .gps-file into the Settings > Edit Expert Settings... dialog before running the identification process once again.

Best regards,

CT, µCT and FIB-SEM / Re: Multi-Directional FiberFind

Hello Jack,

Thank you for reaching out.

In case of an over-segmentation we recommend reducing the threshold, as described on page 40 and 55ff. of the FiberFind user guide https://www.math2market.com/fileadmin/UserGuide/GeoDict2025/FiberFind2025.pdf.

First, you can check for a sufficient threshold by analyzing the result you already have. To do this, you can load the numpy field (as described on page 55) and find a threshold value with which the centerlines are displayed properly.

Please also note that the diameter of the fibers have to be at least 8 voxels to get an stable identification result.

I hope this helps you with your work.

Best regards,
Lilli
