Crystal plasticity modelling is a powerful and well-established tool in computational materials science for studying the mechanical structure-property relationships in single-crystal or polycrystalline materials. Various micromechanical phenomena, such as strain hardening in single crystals or texture evolution in polycrystalline aggregates can be successfully analysed with this approach.
The Düsseldorf Advanced Material Simulation Kit (DAMASK) provides a flexible, easy-to-use and open-source multiphysics extension of the crystal plasticity method. It is highly modular and allows the use and straightforward implementation of different types of constitutive lawsfor elasticity, plasticity, damage, phase transformation, and heat generation amongother coupled multi-physical processesand numerical solvers (finite element-or spectral-based). In general, the constitutive laws linking deformation and stress at each material point are used to solve continuum mechanical boundary value problems.
The DAMASK software package also provides a library for the pre-and post-processing of the crystal plasticity-based predictions. In conjunction with other microstructure generation and data analysis software (e.g. Neperor MTEX), the software is best used. Since the release of its first version about ten years ago, the number of DAMASK users from all over the world has been growing steadily.
