tessellation of Ti-6Al-4V alloy

[my-name-iz-ayush]

hi @rquey thank you for such a great simulation software. I'm currently working on tessellation of Ti-6Al-4V alloy's microstructure having lamellar microstructure with 2 phases out of which one is having 30% volume fraction for which I used following code:

neper -T -n 500::from_morpho -morpho "gg::lamellar(w=0.1)" -domain "cube(3,3,3)" -group "id<=30?1:2" -o Ti64 

for this I'm getting following visualization:

neper -V Ti64.tess -datacellcol group -datacelltrs 0 -print Ti64

I have to assign two different properties of these two different phases in Abaqus CAE how can I proceed ? I'm taking input in Abaqus using inp file format after meshing the microstructure. Also can you suggest is this tessellation code correct for simulation of Ti-6Al-4V alloy's microstructure or any changes if required.

Neper does not write the group information to the inp file, but you can print it to separate file using -statcell group in -T or -statelset group in -M. What to do in the inp file then is more an Abaqus question, and I'm afraid I can't help.

Thank you for your support. I will try to look for abaqus.

@rquey can you help me how to mesh two phases separatelywith different paramenters. Also if you can help me with the use of elset in this problem.

[rquey]

In -M, use something like -rcl "(group==1)?0.5:1", which means "if group = 1, then rcl = 0.5, otherwise rcl = 1".

thank you for your guidance.

@rquey how can i get grain boundaries visible in inp file after meshing the microstructure.

[rquey]

Use -dim 2,3.
