Materials¶
The first material makes up 25% of the volume, with a lognormal grain volume distribution.
The second material makes up 75% of the volume, with an independent grain volume distribution.
Domain Geometry¶
These two materials fill a cube domain of side length 7.
Settings¶
The function will output plots of the microstructure process and those plots
are saved as PNGs.
They are saved in a folder named two_phase_3D
, in the current directory
(i.e ./two_phase_3D
).
The line width of the output plots is reduced to 0.2, to make them more visible.
Output Files¶
The three plots that this file generates are the seeding, the polygon mesh, and the triangular mesh. These three plots are shown in Fig. 14 - Fig. 16.
