Cubic porous networks are computer simulated by a Monte Carlo method implemented under the premises of the Dual Site-Bond Model of complex media. Topological properties of the networks (size and connectivity) are visualized from cross-sectional planes of the substrata. Sorption characteristics of these media are evidenced through their hysteresis loops. Visualization of the state (liquid or vapour-filled) of porous entities during a particular sorption process is made directly from cross-sectional planes of the porous media or indirectly from domain complexion diagrams.
