Domain-Boundary Options
In the Domain-Boundary Options panel, the handling of boundary grains is defined.
When Remove Grain Fragments at Domain Boundary is checked, all grains touching the domain boundary, after the initialization and the grain-fragment reconnection are done, are removed. This might improve the results, since boundary grains which do not lay completely in the domain might lead to wrong estimates for the grain shapes. The visualizations below are loaded from the Results Viewer of the *.gdr result file (under the Grain Visualization tab).
When Remove Grain Fragments at Domain Boundary is unchecked, the Periodicity options are available. By checking the X-, Y-, or Z-Direction checkboxes, the grain space is treated as periodic in the chosen direction(s). Otherwise, when Periodicity is not chosen in a direction, the structure is assumed to end at the domain boundary.

Important! Periodicity should only be chosen for real periodic structures, otherwise it might lead to strange results (with grains which are treated as connected but are distant from each other in reality). |
