Usually, this indicates that you running out of main memory.
You can only fix this if you reduce the memory consumption of your simulation (smaller RVE or less resolution, less phases, etc.) or use a computer with more main memory.
MICRESS is compiled with an Intel compiler. However, compilation uses standard options and is not optimized for peak performance on Intel processors. So, I guess disadvantages for AMD processors are minimized. I never compared. The parallel version uses OpenMP for CPU thread based, shared memory par...
Are there some characteristics of these small grains in the other output fields? E.g. if it is a specific phenomen for a certain phase, you can use the fraction field as a filter in Display MICRESS operations. a = phase field result b = fraction field of disturbing phase operation = ( b > 0 ) ? <bul...
The VTK input error will be fixed in the next release.
As a workaround for the current version, you can provide additional dummy input values for the missing grain numbers.
Hi Billy, you are right. I short README would be nice, esp. for the package available for download. If you use the complete MICRESS installer, the necessary settings are written automatically in a short starter script in the MICRESS binary folder (DP_MICRESS.sh). To make the libraries provided for D...
When using vtk output, you should get a series of vtk files, e.g. mysim_1.vtk, mysim_2.vtk, ... One file for each time step with all field results in it. This file series can be opened in Paraview at once. Choose the entry with the dots, e.g. mysim... DP_MICRESS will open, i.e. parse the whole serie...
