2.3.3.3.7. Microstructure Characterization and Representation

Introduction

The internal structure of a material modeled as crystals and the defect network that connect these.

Application Definitions

Base classes

NXmicrostructure

Base class to describe elements of the microstructure of a material.

NXmicrostructure_pf, NXmicrostructure_ipf, NXmicrostructure_odf

Base classes for describing parameterization, results, and data from texture analysis, specifically pole figure (pf), inverse pole figure (ipf), and orientation distribution function (odf), respectively.

NXmicrostructure_feature

Set of topological/spatial features in materials built from atoms, from coarse-grained representations of atoms, or from other microstructure features.

NXmicrostructure_slip_system

Base class for describing a set of crystallographic slip systems.

NXmicrostructure_mtex_config

Base class for documenting the parameterization of MTex, which is a software for analyzing material texture written in MATLAB.

NXmicrostructure_score_config

Application definition to control a simulation with the SCORE cellular automata simulation tool.

NXmicrostructure_score_results

Application definition for storing results of the SCORE cellular automata simulation tool.

NXmicrostructure_kanapy_results

Application definition for storing results of the kanapy microstructure synthesis tool.
