  • Aggregate simulation
    Patent number: 8396700
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides, among other things, a method for generating a simulated aggregate based on one or more input parameters. A test aggregate is constructed and rotated. Stable orientations of the aggregate on a surface are determined. In specific examples, two-dimensional properties are calculated for stable orientations of the test aggregate and stored or displayed. In particular implementations of the method, the test aggregate is constructed through successive monomer addition.
    Type: Grant
