(tutorial-builtin-sg-3d-sphere)= # Spherical Inclusion Microstructure (3D SG) ## 3D SG preparation In this example, use the following material properties: - Fiber: Young’s modulus $E$=379.3 GPa, Poisson’s ratio $\nu$=0.1 - Matrix: Young’s modulus $E$=68.3 GPa, Poisson’s ratio $\nu$=0.3 - Interphase: $E_1$=117.0 GPa, $E_2$=$E_3$=8.54 GPa, $\nu_{12}$=$\nu_{13}$=0.278, $\nu_{23}$=0.5, $G_{12}$=$G_{13}$=3.9 GPa, $G_{23}$=2.83 GPa. Then click the 3D common SG button ![](../../../../assets/icons/sg_3d_small.png) then the dialog box will pop out (Fig. 2.3-3). This 3D SG has length 1.0 in every dimension. Set the **Geometry** > **Inclusion** > **Volume fraction** to 0.4. Set the **Geometry** > **Interphace** > **Volume fraction** to 0.1. ```{figure} /_static/images/sg-3d-db-spherical-inclusion.png :align: center Create 3D SG dialog box. ``` After setting all the parameters as shown in Fig. 2.3-3, click **OK** to create the SG (Fig. 2.3-4). ```{figure} /_static/images/sg-3d-sph-geo-visual.png :align: center Fig. 2.3-4 The created 3D SG ``` ## Homogenization Click the **homogenization** button ![](../../../../assets/icons/sc_homo_small.png) then the dialog box will pop up. In this example, we choose the 3D solid macro model, then the default file name will be `inclusionP3_nSG3_3D_C3D4.sc`. Click **OK** and wait for preparing the input file of SwiftComp and homogenization. After the computation of SwiftComp, the effective properties will pop up automatically (Fig. 2.3-6). ```{figure} /_static/images/sg-3d-sph-solid-homog-db.png :align: center Homogenization dialog box-use 3D solid model. ``` ```{figure} /_static/images/sg-3d-sph-solid-homog-output.png :align: center Effective properties of 3D solid model. ``` ## Dehomogenization Click the **dehomogenization** button ![](../../../../assets/icons/sc_dehomo_small.png) then the dialog box will pop out. Choose **SG Model Source** > **CAE** and select the model "inclusionP3_nSG3_3D_C3D4". Input **Macroscopic analysis results** as shown in Fig. 2.3-8. ```{figure} /_static/images/sg-3d-sph-solid-dehomog-cae.png :align: center Dehomogenization parameters for 3D solid model. ``` Click **OK** and wait for SwiftComp to finish the computation. Switch to the **Visualization** module, the user is able to view all the field results. In the odb tree, three sections are created, with each section containing the same material properties. ```{figure} /_static/images/sg-3d-sph-solid-dehomog-visual.png :align: center Dehomogenization results of 3D model. ```
