Voronoi

[Mr.Happy]

Hi,

I want to create a model where I have 3D Voronoi tiles and each tile is connected to its neighboring tile via a spring/beam element. Should I create several .off files and then have Granoo read it or is there an inbuild Voronoi function?

Thanks!

Hello, if you want to use voronoi domains you can follow this workflow.

1- Create a granular compact domain with the cooker tool :

$ granoo-cooker -w
$ granoo-cooker ./CookingBook.inp

2- Use the gddutil tool to convert the granular domain into voronoi domain with :

$ granoo-gddutil -i ./TEST/CompactDomain.agdd --voro --voro-delau -o voro.lgdd

Please note that :
 - only *.lgdd and *.gdd granoo file formats are compatible with voronoi domains
- you can skip --voro-delau option if you want to keep the same bond network before and after the voronoi conversion

3- Visualize the result with the viewer tool :

$ granoo-viewer ./

In the viewer type two times on the 'i' key to highlights voronoi cells.


Best regards, Damien.
