 Next, in the **'MS Evolution'** tab select the **'Grainstructure'** sub-tab. By default, the evolution model for grain size is set to **'None - no evolution'**. This is the option that has been used in all kinetic simulations so far; the grain size, as well as other microstructural parameters such as dislocation density, has been taken as constant. Instead, set this to **'Single class model'**. A set of options will appear as shown in the diagram below. Leave the values with default settings and click on 'OK' button.  Next, in the **'MS Evolution'** tab select the **'Grainstructure'** sub-tab.

-Using **Calc > precipitation kinetics**, set up an isothermal simulation with an end-time of 3600 s (1 hour) and a temperature of 900°C. Click on **'Go'**. The simulation will be over very rapidly compared to precipitation simulations.+Using **'Calc' -'Microstructure simulation'**, set up an isothermal simulation with an end-time of 3600 s (1 hour) and a temperature of 900°C. Click on **'Go'**. The simulation will be over very rapidly compared to precipitation simulations.
  
 Create a plot of type 'p1'. In the **'variables'** window, find the section entitled **'prec domain struct sc'** ('sc' standing for 'single class') and expand to show **GD$***-variables. Expand this one step further to show **GD$austenite**, and drag this to the plot window. Change the (default x-axis label to read **time [h]** and modify the scaling factor to **1/3600**. Change the y-axis title to **Grain diameter [μm]** and modify the scaling factor to **1e6**. Create a plot of type 'p1'.

 The final simulation demonstrates the effect of the precipitates on the grain growth.  In order to account for this effect. a precipitate phase needs to be defined which will appear in the simulation. In the **'Phase status'** window, create the precipitate phase for **'FCC_A1#01'** phase, and select the dislocations as nucleation sites (in **'nucleation'** tab). The final simulation demonstrates the effect of the precipitates on the grain growth.  In order to account for this effect. a precipitate phase needs to be defined which will appear in the simulation.
