Other Application Areas

The digital material encompasses several other research projects using a shared body of code. These projects are available from the CVS repository, but are not included in the archives above.

Phase Fields

The phase field code defines field types and operators on them, currently with applications using fourier transforms (FFTW) and explicit time-stepping. Projects using this code include surface deposition and simulation of crack growth.

Quasi-continuum

The quasi-continuum approach to materials simulation combines finite element method with molecular dynamics in order to simulate only the relevant degrees of freedom.

Hysteresis

This measures avalanches in the Random Field Ising Model.

• Introspection and the serialization which depended upon it have been removed from the code because the type-safe implementation was difficult for compilers and authors and we think python can provide similar functionality.
