Description

The fiber density distribution type von-Mises-2d models an orthotropic 2D distribution. This distribution corresponds to

\[ R\left(\mathbf{n}\right)=\frac{\exp\left[b\left(2n_{1}^{2}-1\right)\right]}{2\pi I_{0}\left(b\right)} \]

where \(\left(n_{1},n_{2},n_{3}\right)\) are the components of \(\mathbf{n}\) in the local Cartesian basis \(\left\{ \mathbf{e}_{1},\mathbf{e}_{2},\mathbf{e}_{3}\right\}\) of each element or the global basis by default, with the distribution lying in the \(\left\{ \mathbf{e}_{1},\mathbf{e}_{2}\right\}\) plane; and \(b\) is the concentration parameter \((b>0)\). \(I_{0}\) is the modified Bessel function of the first kind of order 0.
