- Initialization: Generate a white image to represent the undifferentiated structure, as shown in Figure 1a.
- Phase 3 Assignment: Assign Phase 3 material to all voxels, Figure 1b.
- Layer Iteration (Perpendicular to -Axis):
- For each layer of voxels in planes perpendicular to the -axis, determine the total number of voxels () in the layer.
- Volume Fraction Calculation for Phase 1: Calculate the volume fraction () of Phase 1 material in each layer as per Equation (1), considering the -coordinate at the voxel centers.
- Determine the number of voxels () to be assigned as Phase 1, calculated as . Round to the nearest integer if necessary.
- Phase 1 Allocation: Randomly select voxels within the layer, and change their material attribute to Phase 1, Figure 1c.
- Row Iteration (Perpendicular to -Axis):
- For each row of voxels in the layer, which are along lines perpendicular to the -axis, count the total number of voxels ().
- Volume Fraction Calculation for Phase 2: Calculate the volume fraction () of Phase 2 material in each row as per Equation (1), taking the -coordinate at the voxel centers.
- Determine the number of Phase 2 voxels (), calculated as . Round to the nearest integer if needed.
- Phase 2 Allocation: Identify the number of voxels () in the row that have a material attribute of Phase 3.
