A Novel Approach to Large-Scale Parallel Materials and Through-Process Modeling

在孤立元素的基础上，通过开发新一代基于物理的介观材料模型来探索材料和工艺模拟的新途径，这将允许通用的大规模并行模拟。这些模型的设计是为了充分利用超级计算机的能力进行真正的全过程建模，并将有助于逆向材料建模。预计这将大大扩大建模材料系统的尺寸和时间框架，使并发微观结构过程的同时模拟成为可能，使其适合复杂过程链的建模，并可能在物理基础上提供在线过程控制。

It is proposed to explore new avenues for materials and process simulation by the development of a new generation of physics-based mesoscopic material models on the basis of solitary elements that will allow generic large scale parallel simulation. Such models are designed to allow the full exploitation of the power of supercomputers for true through-process modeling and will assist inverse materials modeling. It is expected that this will substantially enlarge the size and time frame of modeled material systems, enable simultaneous simulation of concurrent microstructural processes, lend itself for modeling of complex process chains, and may offer on-line process control on a physical basis.
