Utilities: JTDist

JTDist is a utility program for creating user-defined synthetic joint sets, and saving the data as a Dips file. JTDist is installed along with Dips in your Dips installation folder.

JTDist interface



The user can define up to five distinct joint sets (by entering a mean dip and dip direction, standard deviation, and joint quantity for each set), create a random background of joint data, and apply error to the generated joint set data (normal, uniform, or roundoff).

After entering the parameters, select Save File in the JTDist dialog. This will generate the synthetic data and allow you to save it as a Dips file (a file with a .dip extension readable by Dips).

A tutorial for the JTDist program is available by selecting the Help button in the JTDist dialog, and then selecting the Tutorial button. The tutorial is also available by double-clicking on the jtdisttut.pdf file in your Dips installation folder.
