OpenPhase Software
OpenPhase Studio is a powerful microstructure simulation suite made for metallic materials, ceramics and minerals. Using multi-physics models embedded in the phase-field method, materials processes such as solidification, heat treatment, mechanical testing and many more can be simulated. OpenPhase is available in two flavours, OpenPhase Studio and OpenPhase Core. OpenPhase Studio is our full-featured microstructure simulation suite with user-friendly GUI, intuitive simulation setup and on-the-fly data analysis. An open-source C++ library is available with OpenPhase Core, which includes the core OpenPhase functionality and offers full flexibility in building custom simulations.
OpenPhase enables you to:
- Innovate and accelerate materials development
- Complement experiments
- Optimize processes through better understanding of materials behavior

OpenPhase Studio
The full-featured microstructure simulation suite OpenPhase Studio offers an intuitive GUI including documentation and on-the-fly visualization. New simulations can be quickly created from pre-defined material and process presets.
OpenPhase Core
If flexibility is essential, a powerful C++ library is available in OpenPhase Core. The open-source code can be expanded by using OpenPhase Modules, such as OP Advanced Mechanics and OP Thermodynamics.
Custom Solutions
Custom solutions range from custom simulations tailored to your research over implementation of new models to parameter studies and development of custom interfaces.
Support
OpenPhase support answers technical and scientific questions and helps you quickly find the right simulation setup for your material and process parameters.
OpenPhase Features
The development of OpenPhase started in 2008 at ICAMS, one of the world-leading materials simulation institutes. With today over 50 man-years of development, OpenPhase is the most feature-rich phase-field code available. Continuous development by the OpenPhase Solutions team ensures that OpenPhase is state-of-the-art in simulating microstructure evolution.
Intuitive graphical user-interface
Guided creation of simulations, integrated documentation and presets for various materials and processes.
Modular library
OpenPhase Studio and OpenPhase Core use a modular structure that allows combining different physical modules into a single simulation or simulate a complex process through consecutive simulation steps.
Powerful diffusion module
Realistic simulation of diffusion and phase transformation. Coupling to Thermo-Calc and Open Calphad enables realistic simulation of complex material systems.
Extensive mechanics module
Finite strain elasticity snd crystal plasticity for complex mechanics simulations of evolving or static microstructures.
Straightforward flow solver
Fluid-flow solver using Lattice Boltzmann method for calculating melt flow during solidification.
Flexible nucleation and microstructure creation
Easy creation of initial microstructures, realistic nucleation based on various properties.
