Porosity has been introduced as new distribution dependent property. The porosity of particles can now be defined using the SolidSim Feed Editor - if measured in such way even depending on for example the particle size.

The porosity is now also considered besides the pure compound density and the particle moisture whenever the density of particles is calculated (except if a density distribution is defined).

The following figures explain, how the particle density is obtained:

1. Density of a dry solid particle
