Do you have an example for such an instability?

Bernd

Hi ning, The most simple way would be to draw isolines at a given composition which corresponds (approximately) to the value in the middle of the phase boundary. This works only sufficiently well if the difference between the concentrations of the present phases is much bigger than the variance insi...

In the .intf output??????

I can imagine this only if n is very high so that you do not see the steps! But still...

Dear ning, The .intf is an integer output which is equal 1 in dual interfaces 3 in triple junctions 6 in quadruple junctions 10 in quintuple junctions ... according to the number of combinations of pair-wise phase (grain) interactions. It is defined in all regions where the fractions are between phM...

Dear mtoloui, It is true that due to a variation of the evaluated curvature across the interface you may get an only partial pinning of the interface in a certain position. But this is not "unstable" because there is no positive feed-back - to the contrary there is a negative feed-back, because loca...

Dear Krishnendu, currently, normal (ortho-)equilibrium is calculated. But because of the slow diffusion of interstitial elements in steels, the pile-up of these elements is "overrun" by the thick interface. The behaviour which is predicted by MICRESS under these conditions is typically between NPLE ...

Hi all, the model for NPLE mentioned above has been considerably improved. The third parameter for a smooth transition between different regimes is no longer necessary. The "pseudo"-para-equilibrium model (which was only relying on the redistribution behaviour) is now replaced by a new approach whic...

Dear Krishnendu,

The Para-equilibrium condition using Thermo-Calc has been implemented in MICRESS recently. It will probably be available to beta testers with the next release which is planned to come soon. There is still need for testing, unfortunately it works only with TQ version S.

Dear mtoloui, If you are using a deterministic or random initial grain structure, there is presently no direct way of manually assigning identical grain numbers to different grains. But if you are reading in the initial grain structure from file, you can of course assign the grain numbers like you w...

Hi sunny! The option "sinus" in the temperature trend is a remnant from older times and is currently not working. It will be removed completely in the next release of MICRESS. The most simple way to specify a temperature trend is just to input an initial temperature, a cooling rate and a temperature...
