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 of the microstructure of various inhomogeneous engineering materials such as particle-reinforced composites, partially sintered ceramics, powders, open-cell foams or concrete aggregates, of materials for solid oxide fuel cells or battery applications, as well as of certain nanomaterials, 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.
The Mote3D wiki is a place to share examples and case studies, as well as tips on using the Mote3D toolbox.
