Average grain size

How MICRESS calculates average grain radius in grain growth problems? As you know there are different experimental methods to find average grain radius of metallographic pictures. Which method of measuring average grain size is consistent with the method used in MICRESS? If we do a 2-D grain growth ...

What is categorization of a grain type?

Re: Averaging of Driving Force

Dear Bernd,
As a matter of fact, I want to know how you calculate the average. Which formula do you use to calculate the average driving force? Is it just a mean of dG over the nodes at the interface or is it a weighted average or something else?

Averaging of Driving Force

Is there any detailed description of averaging method by which MICRESS calculates the average driving force? e.g. what is the meaning and functionality of the averaging factor which comes after the keyword "avg"?
