Advanced Microstructure Simulation Situe
Empowering researchers and scientists with cutting-edge simulation tools for metallic materials, ceramics, and minerals. Experience the future of materials science.
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
