MICRESS Forum

Dear Bernd, Thanks very much! As I told you before in our E-mail communications, I have been trying to simulate a diffusion-controlled solidification (i.e., with large isotropic kinetic coefficient and "reasonable" static anisotropic coefficient). It seems that setting the interface stiffness to 0.5...

I am doing a simulation of Al-Cu solidification microstructure with MICRESS. I noticed that in the MICRESS example (AlCu_dri and AlCu_Equiaxed_dir), the static anisotropy coefficient for the phase interaction between liquid and solid is set to 0.5. Is it a realistic value for Al-Cu system? How is th...
