Travel Break & PMG Update

To update those who are interested in my research and work, since March 2024 I’ve been on a travel sabbatical which will continue until September 2024. I will be travelling around the world to different destinations with my fiancé. During this time, I will not be working/paid and so I will only be finishing up any reviews for collaborators.

The license for the Porous Microstructure Generator (PMG) which is included in the original repository has stopped working. This is intentional as I would like to transition to understanding who is using it and for what purpose. Currently I do not know who downloads it.

PMG is not funded and therefore has no support other than what I provide in my spare time. I would like to consider free, paid and open source versions which would enable faster updates, more reliable algorithms, user guides and software algorithm improvements but need feedback from the community.

Therefore if you would like a license file free for the next 6 months, please fill out the google forms link below and I will email you a license file. Please check your spam/junk folders for emails from porous.generator@gmail.com.

PMG Feedback for License File

If you find PMG useful, please can you let me know:

  • Role/Affiliation
  • What are you using PMG for?
  • Are there any features you would like to see for future updates?
  • What level of funding would be possible for license to help fund the project? (e.g. £50 – 500 per year etc, or free if your budget constrained)
  • Any other feedback?

Lastly thanks for everyones feedback so far, it is nice to hear how PMG has helped researchers so far.
