Dear Bernd, Many thanks for answering all my questions. At first I have to say that the carbon diffusivity in ferrite is indeed very high. Simulation Temperature Diff Diff. C. Diff. time[s] [K] P1 C1 P1 C2 P2 C1 P2 C2 0 1003 0.00E+00 0.00E+00 0.00E+00 0.00E+00 0.11376 1003.114 1.16E-08 5.34E-15 8.58...

Dear Bernd, I have performed simulations of austenite formation in a Fe-0.67 wt% C -1.15 wt% Mn steel during heating at 1 K/s. The starting microstructure consists of pearlite and 9% of pre-eutectoid ferrite. I used a low grid size (5 nm) to resolve the fine cementite lamella. The simulation was run...

I would interest in running a simulation starting from a microstructure, which is the results of a previous simulation. Although this is straightforward for 2D simulation, by reading the initial grain structure from a KORN ascii file, I do not know if a similar procedure may be also used for reading...
