User:MarDiehl/DAMASK (software)

Düsseldorf Advanced Material Simulation Kit (DAMASK) is a Crystal plasticity simulation software from Max Planck Institute for Iron Research. DAMASK makes heavy use of Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation (PETSc) and is free and open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

DAMASK development was initiated at the Max Planck Institute for Iron Research.

Features
DAMASK is a unified multi-physics crystal plasticity simulation package. The solution of continuum mechanical boundary value problems requires a constitutive response that connects deformation and stress at each material point. This problem is solved in DAMASK on the basis of crystal plasticity using a variety of constitutive models and homogenization approaches. However, treating mechanics in isolation is no longer sufficient to study emergent advanced high-strength materials. In these materials, deformation happens interrelated with displacive phase transformation, significant heating, and potential damage evolution. Therefore, DAMASK is capable of handling multi-physics problems. Following a modular approach, additional field equations are solved in a fully coupled way using a staggered approach.

LAMMPS is coupled to many analysis tools and engines as well.
