Re: Broad interfaces
Dear Roscoe, What you experience is a broadening (spreading) of the interface due to numerical problems. There can be many reasons for interfaces to get unstable. The most typical are: - too low grid resolution - too high interface mobility (if no mobility correction is used) - missing diffusion - t...

Re: Grain size versus cooling rate ?
Dear Stéphane, That sounds reasonable. The basic idea of the seed density model does neither have shielding nor nucleation rates, so, in principle, having infinitely small checking intervals and a shield distance of 0 (or shield time of 0) is perfect. We have left the shield effect available just fo...

Re: Formation of a thick interface during dendritic growth
Dear Sean, At the first glimpse it looks as if grid resolution would be too low, but only at the first glimpse. Given that you use mob_corr, low resolution would rather result in slow brick-like growth with straight interfaces. Furthermore, you say that you already have checked that... I cannot test...

Re: Grain size versus cooling rate ?
Dear Stephane, I think that the 1D_temp approach indeed is the best one for your case, because it allows combining temperature gradients with the effects of latent heat which you need for the seed density nucleation approach. In case you don't have a fast moving heat source like in L-PBF, perhaps a ...

Re: Grain size versus cooling rate ?
Dear Stephane, When it comes to simulate grain size in case of equiaxed solidification, like Janin I would always prefer the seed-density model (together with latent heat release or 1d-temperature solver). The reason is that what you observe - a decreasing grain size with increased cooling rate - is...

Re: One mistake reminded repeatedly
Dear tatalemon, I have run your two driving files which you have sent me by PM, but I do not get the problems which you have faced ("floating divide by zero" and "floating overflow", resp.). One of the examples runs reasonably well (at least technically) with all solid phases appearing. The second o...

Re: One mistake reminded repeatedly
Dear tatalemon, The simulation does not behave exactly as you describe, but there are some catastrophic errors : 1.) When I run the files you sent me using MICRESS version 6.402, the code stops during input in section "Phase Diagram - input data" because it does not allow defining the matrix compone...

Re: Dendritic growth under high cooling rates
Dear PeGr, If "Bird's eye" view means that you are looking onto the top so that your simulation domain is along the isothermal plane, then you are right. But then, you cannot simulate nucleation of primary phase inside this plane, because the dendrites come from below. You thus need to set nuclei or...

Re: One mistake reminded repeatedly
Dear tatalemon, Thanks for sending me your input and .ges5-files. Your setup contains a Ni-based fcc-phase which is in contact with a gas phase. 2 oxide phases, (Corundum and Benisite) shall be nucleated at the interface between gas and fcc. When running the simulation using MICRESS Version 6.4, the...

Re: One mistake reminded repeatedly
Hi tatalemon,
Seems to be a problem deep inside the Thermo-Calc TQ-library, which may be due to bug or to errors in your input file. Can you please share your driving file and your .ges5-file if possible?
