grain_move

Syntax

grain_move {grain_id move_x move_y move_z}

  • grain_id = positive integer

  • move_x, move_y, move_z = real number

Examples

grain_move {1 0. 0. 0.} {2 0.5 -0.301 0.001}

Description

This command sets the displacements of the origin of each grain along the x, y, and z axis, respectively. When move_x, move_y, and move_z are all 0.0, the next grain's lower boundary is the current grain's upper boundary along the grain stack direction. Note that the curly brackets { and } in the syntax/examples are to separate different grains, the number of which is grain_number; all brackets should not be included in preparing cac.in.

The maximum grain_id must be larger than or equal to grain_number. All information related to grain_id that is larger than grain_number is discarded.

When the displacement vector is along the grain stack direction, result by this command may be equivalent to setting the overlap between adjacent grains. Note that the same overlap is applied between all adjacent grains, while this command sets the displacement vector for each grain independently.

This command becomes irrelevant when boolean_restart = t, in which case there is no need for the grain information.
