Hello there,
Just wondering if with the current TexGen version is possible to write a script to generate voids (inclusions) in the matrix/yarns at a certain location (x,y,z) and then export the voxel model? I'm particularly interested in ellipsoidal inclusions with the given major and minor axis of such ellipse...
Thank you all in advance!

Re: Voids in RVE.
Hi Uomo,
There isn't a way of doing this directly. Maybe you could try creating very short elliptical yarns, export the voxel mesh and then delete those yarns from the .inp file. You would then be left with voids in the matrix. A bit of a round about way of doing it but it's the only way that I can think of at the moment.
An interesting idea though - one for a future version of TexGen maybe...
