Abstract

This paper introduces an object-oriented programming approach into the development of a general-purpose simulation framework for the numerical modeling of microstructure evolution at the mesoscopic length level. The design requirements of this framework are discussed, and an analysis from the standpoint of object-oriented programming is performed. Based on this framework, a Monte Carlo grain growth algorithm with improved efficiency and accuracy has been developed. This simulation framework is expected to represent a reliable software module of a multi-scale microstructure prediction system for materials processing.
