Dear Bernd,

Can you kindly let us know what is the difference between the choices "para" and "paratq" ?

Thank you,

Dear Expert, I want to understand the nucleation strategy in MICRESS. What I understood, it is controlled by the parameter 'undercooling'. The equilibrium temperature is based on planar interface. But for nucleation we have a heavily curved interface. Undercooling is required to create the curved in...

Dear Expert, I am having problem with installation of version 7.003. It is giving the following error: Database # ======== # Is a thermodynamic database to be used? # Options: database database_verbose database_consistent no_database database GES_Files/TC2015a_FeCMn # License check ... # No valid li...

Dear Expert, I want to continue the discussion with this old but important thread. Let us, for example, consider, that a single ferrite grain is growing in an austenite matrix. Then, let us consider a hypothetical situation, where the local curvatures are different in different parts of the ferrite/...

Dear Expert, I have run the example file A007_Dendrite_AlSi_3D_dri.txt. Now, I am eager to run an example as shown in the applications: " Equiaxed and Directional Solidification of a AlSi7Mg03 Alloy" where at the end of solidification small Mg2Si particles (precipitation) occur. Is there an example ...

Dear Ralph,

Thank you very much for your reply. Indeed the initial microstructure file was much larger than 545*410. I found out the exact number of the data entries and MICRESS was able to read the microstructure properly.

Thanks,
Best regards,

Dear Expert, I have a microstructure input file in *.txt format and its size is 45 MB. MICRESS is giving an error while reading the file: # Treatment of data? # (n: none, 1: 1D, f: flip (bottom<->top), t: transpose, # or p: 'phase to grains transformation') p # CellsX for initial microstructure? 545...

Dear Dr. Böttger, Thank you for your reply. I changed the following to get rid of the double relinearisation scheme ( as mentioned in your reply: In your example, I assume that the TQ Time will be predominant. You have defined a double relinearisation scheme, i.e. update thermodynamic data all 5 sec...

Dear Dr. Böttger, Thank you for your reply. I decided to use the new MICRESS version 5.5 as it is possible to mix thermodynamic descriptions via thermodynamic databases and linearized phase diagrams. But I have a problem. The program is slow. My grid size is 545 * 410. And the cell dimension is 0.2 ...

Dear Dr. Böttger, Thank you for your reply. Can we create a grain properties text file from ''Program 1''? It should be of the following format: grain number phase number recrystallization energy (if phase number is the phase number for ferrite) Then we can input it to ''Program 2''. Best regards, K...
