Question on the visualization softwares of texture.

Submitted by Shunlai.Zang on

Hi everyone,

I want to know if there are some opensource softwares to transfer the x-ray raw data to representative discrete pole figure data by Euler angles ? Now I know how to calculate ODF from x-ray raw data with the help of "Mtex". But I dont know how to get representative discrete pole figure data by Euler angles, which is used for CP numerical simulation, from ODF.

Thank you very much!

TAHOE open source FEM code

Submitted by unsrohith on

Hi I hope some users are working on the open source FEM code TAHOE.  The link from sandia National Laboratories (http://tahoe.ca.sandia.gov/) to download the software is not working. I got the tahoe 1.2 .tgz from sourceforge.net. But I am unable to create the executable in linux as it is displaying some error. If any one has compiled executable I kindly request you to post it.

 Thanks and Regards,

How to use ALE in modelling extrusion of AL circular tubes through hollow dies(porthole)

Submitted by rajat batra on

Hello,I am an MS student working on extrusion of AL tubes through hollow dies using ABAQUS.I am facing problems in the ALE settings. The job aborts due extensive distortion even after applying and increasing the number of remeshing frequency and sweeps. I greatly appriciate if any one could help me out.
