Add-ons and scripts

Toolboxes that other groups have built on MTEX, and scripts that users share. They are maintained by their authors; questions about them go to the authors.

TrueEBSD

Corrects spatial distortions and aligns images with electron backscatter diffraction maps.

Vivian Tong · GitHub

ORTools

Orientation relationship discovery and analysis, with publication-ready figures of microstructures after a partial or full phase transformation. An add-on to the phase transition functions of MTEX.

Azdiar A. Gazder, Frank Niessen · GitHub

SSLIP

Slip System based Identification of Local Plasticity. Identifies slip system activity point by point, by matching digital image correlation displacement gradients to the slip systems derived from EBSD data.

Tijmen Vermeij · GitHub

Stabix

Slip transfer analysis at grain boundaries.

David Mercier · Read the Docs

MTEX2Gmsh

Generates meshes from EBSD data for finite element analysis at the grain scale.

Dorian Depriester · GitHub

phaseSegmenter

Separates crystallographically identical or similar phases by their composition, using reindexed EBSD data and EDS element maps.

Azdiar A. Gazder, Frank Niessen · GitHub

CVA

Orientation dispersion analysis by principal geodesic analysis, including the crystallographic vorticity axis analysis of Michels et al. (2015), which tracks the vorticity axes of shear zones.

Zachary Michels · GitHub

crystalAligner

Computes the stage tilt and rotation that align one or two crystal directions or plane normals with the coordinate system of a scanning electron microscope.

Frank Niessen · GitHub
