Modules — PhasePot

Everything is built-in

PhasePot has three main modules, which are integrated into a single Windows-based program. The user can select the desired module, i.e. the module that fits best the intended simulation, once the program starts. Each module has a specific set of features that are customised to handle different types of problems:

Rapid Solidification: dendritic growth; solute and disorder trapping; order-disorder transition
Multiphase: solid-state phase transformation; grain-boundary segregation

Build up, run and explore a model that best fits to the intended application, using any of these modules, in just three simple steps.
