ENTER_GEOMETRICAL_EXPONENT

The Diffusion Module (DICTRA) in Graphical Mode uses a Diffusion Calculator instead of the Console Mode commands. Most of the Console Mode functionality is available on the Diffusion Calculator. However, you cannot use both Graphical Mode and Console Mode in the same simulation.

Enter the geometrical exponent which defines the geometry of the system. The program handles one-dimensional geometries defined by the geometrical exponent. These geometries are:

  • Planar. This corresponds to an infinitely wide plate of a certain thickness.
  • Cylindrical. This corresponds to an infinitely long cylinder of a certain radius.
  • Spherical. Sphere with a certain radius.
