Creating a 2D polycrystal with a grain size gradient

[ehsanmoshkelgosha22]

Hello Romain,

I wonder how it is possible to generate a 2D polycrystal with different grain size distributions similar to the below picture.

Thanks,
Ehsan

There is no metric for this in -morpho at the moment. The only option is to generate and load a custom seed distribution, with a gradient of seed density.

Thanks for your reply.

I did not get your point clearly. Could you please explain how it is possible to load a custom seed distribution with a gradient of seed density?

[rquey]

In simple terms, if you put more seeds on the right than on the left, you will get the size gradient. You can load a custom seed distribution using -morphooptiini "coo:file(...)".

I tried this method successfully.

Can you give specific orders？ Thank you very much.

Hello everyone in this discussion,

@zengyan0112 @smallrain1996 I currently need the gradient structure as you mentioned. 2D and 3D structures are both necessary, so could you please give some recommendations and if you can share some codes to build, that would be fantastic.

Thank you very much.

Hello everyone

@rquey i understood what you are saying but how can i put more seeds where it is required
i also want to generate this type of microstructure
