Description
Software for estimating the porosity of anti-insect meshes based on their three-dimensional shape. Traditionally, porosity has been estimated only in a two-dimensional way, omitting the impact of the interlacing of yarns in anti-insect meshes, this being really a three-dimensional structure. With Poro3D a much more realistic estimation of porosity is achieved, taking into account the way in which the threads intertwine, the thickness of the mesh, and estimating the volume that the threads occupy. From the diameter of the threads, spacing between threads, mesh thickness and type of overlap between threads (input parameters), these three-dimensional and two-dimensional porosities (output parameters) can be estimated. Three-dimensional and two-dimensional figures of the estimated interlacing of the threads can be generated. In addition, the software allows the use of .txt data exported from the Euclides software developed at the University of Almería.
