How to start and understand PFC itasca software?

02 August 2023 1 4K Report

I am a beginner in this software and i find it hard to understand it. Kindly help me with this.

I would suggest you to go through the given manual, that will fetch you basic things in PFC. As far as I know, beyond that there is no other channel to familiarize with the software.

Is there a way to correlate one-dimensional netcdf data (like a time-series data) with the spatial gridded dataset (which is multi-dimensional)?

For eg. I have a netcdf file which is in the form of a time-series and the other data is a gridded .nc file for geopotential height. I want to correlate both of these datasets. Please guide me...

I have doped ZnO nanoparticles using tungsten and antimony.1% doping..their atomic radius is different so doping would be possible or not?

i have analyzed samples using XRD, i got peaks with a slight peak shift for pure and doped material. no any addition peak was found. just XRD is enough to confirm the doping?
