Description
Return nominal and swelling-adjusted strut clearance.
Biofabrication bookkeeping separates nominal geometry, deposition, material bases, layer heights and verification assertions. A local surface, fill fraction or dimensional residual describes supplied values rather than demonstrating an actual construct’s shape, material quality or biological suitability.
Return nominal and swelling-adjusted strut clearance.
When to use this tool
Use Scaffold Pore Strut Clearance Gap when checking the stated benign build geometry, measurement, material or record convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter pitch, firstWidth, secondWidth, swellingFraction. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read nominalGap, swollenGap. Use the output convention below.
Return nominal and swelling-adjusted strut clearance. Require nonnegative pitch/widths and swellingFraction > -1; nominal gap = pitch-(w1+w2)/2, swollen gap multiplies both widths by 1+swelling.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| pitch | Pitch | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| firstWidth | First Width | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| secondWidth | Second Width | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| swellingFraction | Swelling Fraction Unit: 1. | Required. Finite number; strictly above -1. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| nominalGap | Nominal Gap | Required. Finite number. |
| swollenGap | Swollen Gap | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Negative gaps report overlap; swelling, actual pore geometry and biological or manufacturing suitability are not inferred.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use verified manufacturing records, measured geometry and an appropriate complete process/material assessment for actual construct quality, performance or safe use.
