Hi,

I am performing a simulation of quenching. I have highlighted the areas of austenite which have a carbon concentration over a certain weight percent. Is there a way to find out what the total volume fraction of these areas are? I have tried using the morphology analysis tool, but I don't think I have done it correctly and am wondering if there is some other way.

Many thanks!

Hi materialmoop,

Probably there are various options which you could choose. A simple one coming to my mind is using the "Operations" functionality which is available in DP_MICRESS under "Data analysis". If you create a new dataset with value 1.0 in case the composition is above your threshold, and 0.0 otherwise, you can just use "Properties" to calculate the average of the result window, which then corresponds to the requested volume fraction.

The operation syntax in your case is (if x.x ist the threshold in wt%):

(a>x.x)?(
1.0
):(
0.0
)

You should have open only the file containing the critical composition distribution (.conc?) and create a new Result window using "Operations".

Best wishes
