Trimming of the 15 × 15 MHD “box.” (a) New boundary nodes (green) are created where branches cross the perimeter of the box. (b) Trimming of elements to the “box.” Dashed lines represent trimmed dendrites (red) and CNTs (black). Space not occupied by the solid structure represents the voids (pores) of the material.
