beware that crystallite output "orientation" now by default returns the orientation as quaternion. if you want euler angles instead, you have to add "eulerangles" as a crystallite output in your material.config file (see material.config template).
for input of orientations in the texture block of the material.config you still have to specify the rotation in terms of euler angles, quaternions are not yet supported for input.
- nonlocal stiffness calculation: we perturb all material points at the same time, so instead of N^2 loops we just need N
- set "forceLocalStiffnessCalculation" to false as standard
- flux density interpolation now depends on the position of the interface between ttwo neighboring material points
- simplified flux calculation scheme
- introduced sanity check for dislocation velocity to ensure v*dt< cellsize
--> new "crystallite" part in config file
--> new "crystallite" option for microstructures
--> new output file "...job.outputCrystallite" to be used in conjunction with marc_addUserOutput for meaningful naming of User Defined Vars.
- reworked contribution of immobile dislocation density for rate equations
- flux is now calculated on the basis of interpolated velocities and densities at the interface; both incoming and outgoing fluxes are considered, so every material point only changes his own dotState
- dislocation velocity is now globally defined and calculated by subroutine constitutive_nonlocal_kinetics; the subroutine is called inside _LpAndItsTangent as well as _microstructure; therefore, microstructure now needs Tstar_v as additional input; in the future one should perhaps create a subroutine constitutive_kinetics that calls constitutive_nonlocal_kinetics separately, to clearly distinguish between microstructural and kinetic variables
- better use flux density vector as output variable instead of scalar flux values for each interface
- added output variables internal and external resolved stress
crystallite:
- added flag to force local stiffness calculation in case of nonlocal model
- misorientation angle is explicitly set to zero when no neighbor can be found
debug:
- added flag "selectiveDebugger" that is used when debugging statements should only affect a specific element, ip and grain; these are specified with the new variables debug_e, debug_i and debug_g
- debugger can now be used in its original sense
