A method of neper.

a microstructure after a phase transformation: Neper’s parent grains cut into lamellae of child variants; MATLAB’s neper.simulateChildGrains

Syntax

grains = nep.simulateChildGrains(10, p2c, odfParent)

10 parent grains, habit plane {111}.

grains = nep.simulateChildGrains(10, p2c, odfParent, habitPlane=Miller(1, 1, 0, p2c.CS), width=0.05)

Another habit plane and width.

grains = nep.simulateChildGrains(10, p2c.variants()[:12], odfParent, rng=np.random.default_rng(0))

The variants to choose from.

Description

The parent orientations are sampled from odfParent, and every parent grain of the tessellation is cut into lamellae normal to its habit plane, the plane turned by the parent orientation. Every lamella takes a child orientation of its parent, a variant chosen at random from those of p2c, but never the variant of the lamella before it, and is turned at random by up to 2 degree. A single relationship gives its first six variants to choose from.

MATLAB calls it on the class, neper.simulateChildGrains; here it is a method of the interface neper.init() returns, and MATLAB’s flag ‘silent’ is verbose=False, the default.

Input

`numParents`	the number of parent grains
`p2c`	orientation, the parent to child orientation relationship, or the variants to choose from
`odfParent`	SO3Fun, the distribution of the parent orientations

Keywords

keyword	default	description
`habitPlane`	`None`	Miller of the parent, the plane the lamellae lie in, by default {111}
`width`	`0.015`	the width of the lamellae
`verbose`	`False`	print Neper’s output
`aspectRatio`	`None`	three lengths, the aspect ratio of the parent grains along x, y and z
`rng`	`None`	numpy.random.Generator of the variants and the random turns

Output

grains grain3d of the child lamellae, with meanOrientation
