DAMASK simulation guide and practice

DAMASK (The Düsseldorf Advanced Material Simulation Kit) is a powerful open-source code created at MPIE (Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH, now Max-Planck-Institut für Nachhaltige Materialien GmbH), which can simulate various phenomena and predict materials properties in the framework of Crystal Plasticity. It is widely used in academics and industry. Extensive informations can be found in this paper.

notebooks to start with

In this collection of ipython notebooks I try to introduce you the very basics of using DAMASK to run simple simulations. You need to install DAMASK first and then you can follow the following tutorials.

• demo_minimal.ipynb : the very first DAMASK simulation you can run
• demo_howto.ipynb : a complete guide for writing (and understanding) input files of DAMASK, basic and advanced visualization techniques
• test_mat_setup.ipynb : assemble (and test) a material file according to DAMASK example parameters
