Resumen:
We present a variant of the "Swiss-cheese" model to allocate the maximum void volume in a simulated structure while minimizing the number of holes. The algorithm performance is not dependent upon user-adjustable parameters and there are no restrictions as to the type of target structure. A procedure to analyse connectivity in a structure, according to a criterion established here, is also presented. An alternate form of a percolation graph is suggested. The algorithms were tested on a simulated vitreous silica matrix, obtained by charge-transfer molecular dynamics. The results obtained in agreement with theoretical and experimental values regarding the percolation and gas-solubility behaviour of this structure.
