MPS Input Formats
The input formats to the material point simulator apply
the generic formats
to specific data and possibly have other side effects, such
as intializing associated variables. Many of the input
formats can accessed by several equivalent names.
List of Input Formats
- material-data
- reads the single crystal material data for the
simulation using the generic format sxmaterial;
currently, only one material is available at a time;
this has the side effect of setting up slip system
data appropriate for the crystal type.
- deviatoric-stresses
- reads in the array of single crystal stresses; this is
for use with lower-level commands;
(Aliases:
sigma-primes
)
- deviatoric-deformation-rates
- reads in the array of single crystal deformation rates; this is
for use with lower-level commands;
(Aliases:
dprimes, dee-primes
)
- macroscopic-velocity-gradient
- reads in the macroscopic velocity gradient ;
this is a full three by three matrix;
(Aliases:
L-macroscopic, dee-prime-macroscopic,
dprime-macroscopic, macroscopic-dprime
)
- velocity-gradient-list
- reads a list of macroscopic velocity gradients;
for use with compute-list-of-stresses
(Aliases:
macro-vgrad-list
)
- macroscopic-sigma-prime
- reads in the macroscopic stress ; this is a full three by three matrix;
(Aliases:
sigma-prime-macroscopic
)
- macro-stress-list
- reads a list of macroscopic stresses;
this is analagous to velocity-gradient-list above,
but there is currently no command to compute the associated
list of deformation rates
(Aliases:
px-stress-list
)
- vertices
- reads in the list of vertices; these are read as deviatoric
tensors, meaning that they can input as either five-dimensional
vectors, symmetric matrices or full three by three matrices, but
only the deviatoric part is kept;
- orientations
- this formats reads the orientations, according to the
generic format;
