Re: 3D files

Dear mtoloui, 1- I think that in your case the simplest solution would be to directly work using the VTK file format. To this end you need to switch on the VTK flag thus: # Name of output files # ==================== # Name of result files? Results/Grain_Growth_3D # Overwrite files with the same nam...

Some comments concerning the seed model

Hello, Bernd and Markus provided me lots of informations concerning the way one should parametrize the 'seed type' flags. This post (which is a complement to the manual) drives you for guessing relevant starting values for the different parameters. Let's first start by a typical input file. # Input ...

Some way of guessing the mobility value

Hi Some additional information.... according to Markus, another way to guess the mobility (mue) can be derived from dimensional ([]) consideration. The mobility in elementary units is: [mue]=[m]^4.[J]^-1.[s]^-1. The diffusivity (D) in elementary units is defined: [D]=[m]^2.[s]^-1. The surface energy...

Mobility value?

Hello, In this topic we spoke mainly about the interface mobility, and about the way one can adjust it if simulations are diverging... However no tricks are provided when no experimental references are available in the scientific literature. And now comes my question: I would like to know what kind ...

Re: Effects of averaging of the driving force

Hello Bernd, I may have misinterpreted this post (or this may be a misprint) but the comment: "i.e. the front moves slower because the average solutal undecooling is increased" sounds strange to me, is it the other way round ( the front moves slower because the average solutal undecooling is decreas...

Re: Numerical parameters

Hello Bernd, At the beginning of your post you mention that one should use " very high resolution and high interface mobilities " to get " stable simulations " and a little bit later you say that " If the simulation is crashing or shows instabilities " one should " lower the mobility value ".... I g...

Parameters for latent heat?

Hello, Can one provide me informations concerning the meaning of the value "crit. matrix fraction" that one is enjoined to answer when using the "lat_heat_3d" keyword? Thanks # Parameters for latent heat and 1D temperature field # =================================================== # Simulate releas...
