Different outcome between Micress 6.2 and 6.3
Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2017 1:45 pm
Dear Bernd,
I have just updated my Micress from Version 6.2 to 6.3 and tried with the same .driv file to compare the outcome. However, i noticed the difference in the phase morphology and fractions, see below the attached phase images. The phase mapped in red color is austenite, transformed from a pearlite. It can be seen that the simulated fraction of austenite with v6.3 is higher than v6.2. Also it appears that transformation kinetics of cementite is also faster with v6.3.
During the simulation, one extra requirement is needed in V6.3. It aks for an input of
#Please specify a criterion for the direction
# of the direction of the redistribution model:
# Options: local_velocity average_velocity bottom_temperature
I tried all the three separately and the phase outcome appears the same. Could you please be kind to explain a bit about the different between the two versions? Also what do the three options for the redistribution model mean?
Many thanks and kind regards
