Abstract

The importance of microstructure simulations in ICME settings is discussed with respect to their added value provided to macroscopic process simulations and their contribution to the prediction of materials properties. Their role in integrating the scales from component/process scale down to atomistic scales and also in integrating the experimental and virtual worlds will be highlighted. Practical implications for coupling a heterogeneous variety of codes and tools to microstructure simulations will be discussed using the example of the commercial multi-phase-field software MICRESS®. The paper concludes with some conceptual thoughts about a future standardized format for the description of digital microstructures.
