PanEvolution/PanPrecipitation

The new PanEvolution module (an extension of the previous PanPrecipitation) enables the concurrent simulation of dislocation density, recrystallization, grain coarsening, in addition to the traditional precipitation simulation. The module is seamlessly integrated with the thermodynamic calculation engine, PanEngine, for the necessary thermodynamic input and mobility data. It is built as a shared library and integrated into Pandat as a specific module that extends the capability of Pandat for kinetic simulations, while taking full advantage of the automatic thermodynamic calculation engine (PanEngine) and the user-friendly Pandat Graphical User Interface (PanGUI). For this reason, precipitation simulations for highly complex alloys under arbitrary heat treatment conditions can be accomplished with only a few operations. Figure 1 shows the three-layered architecture of this modeling tool.
