About:
Damask-grid is the dedicated grid solver component of the DAMASK (Düsseldorf Advanced Material Simulation Kit) ecosystem. It handles the finite element discretization and solution of partial differential equations governing multi-physics crystal plasticity. This tool is essential for performing high-fidelity simulations of material behavior under complex loading conditions.
Key Features:
  • Finite element solver for crystal plasticity
  • Seamless integration with DAMASK material point solver
  • High-performance computing support via MPI and ScaLAPACK
  • Advanced constitutive model handling
Use Cases:
  • Simulating polycrystal deformation in metals
  • Researching microstructure-property relationships
  • Virtual material testing and design
Alternatives:
  • FEniCS – General-purpose FEM framework, less specialized for crystal plasticity workflows
  • MOOSE – Multiphysics framework with broader scope but steeper learning curve for materials science
License: AGPL-3.0-only
Dependencies: fftw, gcc, hdf5-mpi, metis, open-mpi, openblas, petsc, scalapack
