The post describes a MATLAB script for obtaining ABAQUS tetrahedral volume mesh from surface mesh of grain boundaries generated in Dream.3D.

The post describes a MATLAB script for writing ABAQUS hexahedral finite element mesh and Euler angles from synthetic microstructures generated in Dream.3D.

The post explains how to obtain local deformation history from ABAQUS simulation of a deformation process for simulating the corresponding texture evolution by VPSC.

This post is a short tutorial to help getting started with crystal plasticity simulations of texture evolution during plastic deformation. It explains how to run a simple VPSC simulation and visualize the simulated texture in MTEX.
