MICRESS

MICRESS® - the MICRostructure Evolution Simulation Software - is a software enabling the time- and space-resolved calculation of microstructure formation, especially in metallurgical systems. The software is based on a generalized multiphase-field concept for multiphase and multicomponent systems (see J.Eiken, B.Böttger, I.Steinbach, 2006). The historic grounds of the used phase-field concept were developed by ACCESS scientists in 1995 (see I.Steinbach, F.Pezzolla, B.Nestler, M.Seeßelberg, R.Prieler, G.J.Schmitz, J.L.L.Rezende, 1995). The core module which includes phase-field and diffusion modelling is combined with fluid flow, stress and temperature modules. The software is maintained and distributed by ACCESS e.V., a non-profit research center at the Aachen University of Technology (RWTH).
