A flexible 3D finite element simulation of grain growth
Keyword(s):
The finite element approximation of a grain growth model based on the variational formulation of Lagrange equations is presented. The specific developments needed to implement it into the flexible finite element software Zset are detailed. These are mainly the topological transformations due to geometry changes, and the associated remeshing. Finally, the evolution of a typical microstructure of 20 grains is simulated.
