How can I calculate the voidage in or porosity of a powder bed as shown in the attached image? I know that I would need to create a bin group but how can I do this? I want to analyze the voidage on the top and side profile of the powder bed.

    Hi Jake,

    After you create the grid bin group you have to edit its queries, as in the image below:

    After the voidage query is created, you have to click on Edit on the display options (number 5 in the image) and select sub-selection coloring. This way you'll replicate the analysis in the image you shared.

    Thank you for the help! Is there a way for me to export this voidage data too?
