Modeling Metallic Microstructure Using Moving Finite Elements

arXiv:physics/9705041

Abstract

We present an efficient method for anealing 3d metallic grains using Gradient Weighted Moving Finite Elements (GWMFE). The initial grain microstructure is generated from Monte-Carlo evolution of a an effective discrete model on the initial (frozen) unstructured grid generated for the external geometry of the GWMFE calculation.
