Issues running simulations in parallel version
Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2020 3:37 pm
Hello,
Recently I've started to run simulations on the parallel version of MICRESS in hopes to speed up the diffusion calculations and reduce overall simulation time. I am able to run and complete simulations, but they are not completing as expected.
The first issue I have is that I apparently cannot have the molar volumes of phases read from the database. This is important for my simulations as there is a temporal gradient in temperature. The 'database' command is not accepted when I try to run simulations in parallel. There doesn't appear to be any other issues with coupling the database, just the molar volumes.
The second issue I'm having is that I do not get any nucleation during my simulations when they are ran in parallel. When I run the simulation on my desktop computer the nucleation that I input seems to work just fine, but on the parallel version the simulation appears not to even try to nucleate new grains. The simulations complete in the parallel version, but there is not much change from the initial condition other than grain growth/smoothing of boundaries.
Thanks,
Josh
