Hi all, I am working with the author of the topic before ( https://board.micress.de/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=746 ) on a simulation of the solidification after the LPBF process. We initially tried different approaches to achieve a combined columnary and equiaxed solidification. When we applied a thermal p...

Hi Bernd,

thank you very much. I got the wrong syntax for reading the data and what you pointed out was exactly my mistake.

Best regards,

Hi all! I want to run a simulation, based on the example A002_AlCu_temp1d example from the MICRESS homepage. However, I get the following error message: https://i.ibb.co/0G30ySK/process-tabulated-data.png I made changes to the example, but only to subjects like the database, components and phases. I...

Dear Bernd, thanks again for your helpful and detailed reply. I defined all elements as stoichiometric as you showed in your reply and also added diffusion in the liquid phase. I must have accidently deleted it somehow. Unfortunately, the simulation still shows multiple error messages. With the info...

Hi Bernd and to all, thank you very much for your reply. This was the approach I had in mind. I tried to implement this by using the example T002_AlCu_Equiaxed and adjusting the following aspects: - using a Thermocalc-database for the chemical composition I want to simulate (FeCrAlMo steel with oxyg...

Hi Ralph,

thank you for your help! this is exactly the type of parameter I was looking for. I ran a simulation two time, with and without parallelization and the CPU and wallclock time were both significantly lower.

This was very helpful.

Hello everyone! I want to set up a simulation of the solidification of a steel, which contains high melting oxide particles. As the oxides solidify as the first phase during cooling and solidification, they function as seeds for the further solidification and forming of the initial microstructure. I...

Hello everyone! I am relatively new to MICRESS and wanted to ask, if there is any build-in analysis tool in MICRESS (or MICRESS-DP) to determine the grain size or grain size distribution of a resulting microstructure after a simulation? I am aware, that I could use tools like ImageJ for this, but I ...

Hi Ralph,

thanks for your reply! Other system resources do not seem to be under a high load, like the RAM and so on.

Unfortunately I do not understand what you mean with "go parallel"? Do you mean running multiple simulations at once?

Hello everybody! I am new to MICRESS and recently started training and using it for my work. During simulations I noticed, that the system load generated by MICRESS (especially regarding the processor) is relatively small (around 30%). From simulation software like ABAQUS, I am used to the possibili...
