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

为了探索材料和过程模拟的新途径，建议在孤立单元的基础上开发新一代基于物理的介观材料模型，从而实现通用的大规模并行模拟。这样的模型旨在充分利用超级计算机的能力进行真正的全过程建模，并将帮助进行逆向材料建模。预计这将大大扩大模型化材料系统的规模和时间范围，实现并发微结构过程的同时模拟，适合复杂过程链的建模，并可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.
