Announcements

• 1/14/2020: The PRISMS Center will hold a workshop at the TMS 2020 149th Annual Meeting and Exhibition, where participants will become familiar with PRISMS software tools, including PRISMS-PF, and will gain the knowledge about when to use these tools. For more information and registration visit this site.

• 12/2/2019: The PRISMS Center at the University of Michigan is looking to hire a new research faculty member to lead the development of PRISMS-PF and participate in phase field research related to the center’s goals. If you are interested in applying, please visit this page.

• 6/11/2019: The registration for the 2019 PRISMS Center Workshop is now open. The workshop is August 5-9 in Ann Arbor, MI. The first three days are dedicated to hands-on training with the PRISMS codes (including a day for PRISMS-PF). The final two days are a series of technical presentations by members of the PRISMS Center and distinguished outside guests. You can register here.

• 6/10/2019: A new GUI-based nanoHUB tool has been released that is powered by PRISMS-PF. It calculates the equilibrium shape of a precipitate due to anisotropic interfacial energy and misfit strain.

• 9/11/2018: Please take a moment to fill out the short 2018 PRISMS-PF User Survey. The survey results will guide future PRISMS-PF development and help us justify continued funding.

• 8/21/2018: The tentative dates for the 2019 PRISMS Workshop are August 5-9 in Ann Arbor, MI.

• 8/21/2018: Version 2.1 released. This is a moderate-level update to v2.0.2. The structure of equations and ICs/BCs files has been updated for improved legibility and flexibility. A new grain-remapper has been introduced to handling polycrystalline simulations with many grains and a new hybrid Newton/Picard nonlinear solver has been added.

• 8/3/2018: The new online PRISMS-PF user manual is released. This replaces the PDF user manual previously used.

• 5/30/2018: Version 2.0.2 released. This is a minor update to v2.0.1. The biggest change is that nucleation parameters can now be set on a per-variable basis.
