I wish the texture simulation function can be furthermore strengthened. Most directly, if the EPSC/ VPSC model can be realized in matlab language (just like in JTEX) and be integrated into MTEX, that will be super convenient for data visualization and associate constitutive model development.
I agree with Saurabh Basu, I like the tool and appreciate the hard-workings to maintain and improve the software. It's just that I would be able to use it more often and easily, if the implementation platform is Python rather than Matlab.
does JTEX includes VPSC code or does it call extern Fortran code? I'm afraid reimplementing the VPSC in Matlab would be quite time consuming. On the other hand it would help a lot of people to understand what really is going on.
Thanks for your reply. As I know, the JTEX already includes a simulation module of VPSC. Of course I believe it's probably by a direct calling of the fortran code as it runs shocking fast.
I love matlab/MTEX and I have been continuously using and updating it for five years since I got into this field. Last year I was once trying to translate the EPSC into matlab code but didn't successed. It's surely time consuming. But I think this platform with great flexibility and usability is the most efficient and convenient for constitutive development. Maybe I would continue it when I have time.
MTEX is nice. I still recommend two improvements: 1) To make standard functions for simplified curvarure meausures as KAM or GAM; not all internal softs of EBSD have them. This is possible manually in MTEX of course, but the author will ensure more quick computation I think. 2) To treat interfacial totality somehow subdivided in constituent segments, it would be good to specify each WHOLE segment by a related SINGLE disorientation and Length.
