A major update of the Porous Microstructure Analysis (PuMA) software is presented. PuMA is a framework for computing effective material properties and response based on material microstructures. Version 3.0 of the software extends the PuMA capabilities to include computation of anisotropic conductivity, elasticity, permeability, per-voxel material or fiber orientation estimation, as well as expanded computational material generation capabilities. Version 3.0 also introduces pumapy, a Python version of the PuMA software.
