 +====== General information ======
  
 +
 +===== What is ... ? =====
 +
 +//MatCalc// is a scientific software toolbox for computer simulation of 
 +
 +  * constrained and unconstrained phase equilibria
 +  * multi-component and multi-phase precipitation kinetics
 +  * efficient single-class microstructure evolution of grain growth, recovery and static recrystallization
 +  * multi-class static and dynamic recrystallization with full coupling to precipitation kinetics
 +  * state parameter-based stress-strain curve modeling accounting for numerous strengthening mechanisms
 +  * 1D and 2D long-range diffusion simulation
 +  * simultaneous long-range diffusion and precipitation
 +  * phase transformations / moving phase boundaries
 +  * lattice Metropolis and kinetic Monte Carlo 
 +
 +Thermodynamic foundation is the [[http://calphad.org | CALPHAD method]] and CALPHAD-type databases. For more information on the simulation models, please consult the documentation of the corresponding modules. Freely available databases for Al-, Fe- and Ni-based systems are available with the software installation as well as the database section of the MatCalc web site.
 +===== Vision =====
 +
 +The kinetics of phase transformations are controlled by distinct //physical mechanisms//. We want to identify and understand the relevant processes, describe them rigorously in a mathematical framework and cast them into efficient models and algorithms that can be solved on desktop computers. 
 +
 +We aim at avoiding unknown phenomenological coefficients and try to substitute them by (parameter-free) physical models wherever possible. If no appropriate models are at hand, we try to develop them in our team.
 +
 + ===== Mission =====
 +
 +Our aim is to develop sound theoretical concepts and transparent, efficient and enjoyable scientific software for application in Computational Microstructure Evolution.
 +
 +===== Availability =====
 +
 +The latest release of the software is always available in the [[http://matcalc.tuwien.ac.at/index.php/download/matcalc | download section]] of this web site. For pre-release version, see the [[http://matcalc.tuwien.ac.at/index.php/download/developer | developer zone]] ...
 +
 +//MatCalc// can be used in a stand-alone GUI or command-line version. It is also available in the form of libraries that can be linked to general-purpose software, such as MatLAB, or your own code. //MatCalc// is available on the Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.
 + ====== Licensing and support ======
 +
 +The //MatCalc// 6 software can be freely downloaded from the [[http://matcalc.at | MatCalc web site]] and used in its almost full functionality with a limitation to three components. 
 +
 +The full version with unlimited number of components and extended thermodynamic and diffusion databases can be purchased from the MatCalc software Spin-Off [[http://matcalc-engineering.com | MatCalc Engineering GmbH]]. Please consult us there for any kind of technical questions to the //MatCalc// software, purchase inquiry, inquiry for temporary licenses for education and training purpose, or any other issues related to the //MatCalc// software.
