Mote3D is an adaptable, easy-to-use open-source software toolbox for the generation of random particulate microstructure models with periodic boundaries. Mote3D can be used to generate virtual models that represent the microstructure of various inhomogeneous engineering materials such as particle-reinforced composites, partially sintered ceramics, powders, open-cell foams or concrete aggregates, as well as of certain biomaterials or scaffolds.
Virtual microstructure models generated by Mote3D are primarily used in computational materials science and engineering to study the relation between microstructure and overall mechanical, electrical or thermal material properties. However, use of Mote3D is not limited to this field.
This wiki is a place to share examples and case studies, as well as hints and tips on using the Mote3D toolbox.
