Running DAMASK with MatFlow

Running DAMASK with Matflow

DAMASK can be used in combination with dream3D, DefDap, and MTEX with MatFlow. See here for an example and here for a guide.

Common issues with matflow-damask

Before Running your MatFlow-DAMASK workflow ensure your workflow.yaml file is valid with this free online tool. Ensure you use the spectral_polarization flag to use the latest solver:

  - name: simulate_volume_element_loading
    method: CP_FFT
    software: DAMASK
    base:
      solver:
	mechanical: spectral_polarization # spectral_basic(default), spectral_polarization, FEM
      numerics:
        grid:
          itmax: 100 # number of allowed attempts to converge
          maxCutBack: 1 # number of times allowed to cutback
          derivative: FWBW_difference # uses smoother diffrential
