The proper choice of a grinding tool is essential for a productive grinding process and a high quality of the resulting work piece surface. Hence, the grinding wheel structure consisting of abrasive grain material, bonding material and pores has to be composed wisely. We present a new approach for mathematically modelling such grinding wheel structures with the objective of predicting the volumetric composition of the grinding wheel components such that grinding requirements can be met without using trial and error methods. For the model, we focus on a small element of a grinding wheel, such as a cube, which we call volumetric structure element (VSE). In this project, we concentrate on several aspects of the modeling procedure, namely the initial grain arrangement, a collision-free grain rotation and translation algorithm to obtain required grain volume fractions in a VSE, the tetrahedral mesh generation for a whole VSE and the modeling of ceramic bond.
