unit_type

Syntax

unit_type {grain_id [subdomain_id unitype]}

  • grain_id, subdomain_id = positive integer

  • unitype = 1 or positive even integer (>= 2 if intpo_depth = 1, >= 4 if intpo_depth = 2)

Examples

unit_type {1 [1 12]}
unit_type {1 [1 1] [2 8]} {2 [1 6] [2 16] [3 10]}
unit_type {1 [1 14]} {2 [1 1]} {3 [1 6]}

Description

The command sets the unit type in each subdomain in each grain.

Similar to the unit_num command, this command consists of two loops. The outer loop, illustrated by {}, is based on grain; the inner loop, illustrated by [], is based on subdomain. Note that the curly brackets { and } as well as the square brackets [ and ] in the syntax/examples are to separate different grains and subdomains, the number of which are grain_number and subdomain_number, respectively; all brackets should not be included in preparing cac.in.

The number of atoms per unit is (\mathrm{unitype}+1)^3, where unitype must be either 1 (atomistic domain) or an even integer that is no less than 2 if intpo_depth = 1 and no less than 4 if intpo_depth = 2 (coarse-grained domain): in the latter case, (i) it must be even because of the first order Gaussian quadrature employed to solve the governing equations, (ii) it must be >= 2 or >=4 because of the first nearest neighbor (1NN) element and second nearest neighbor (2NN) element have 27 and 125 integration points, respectively (so there cannot be fewer than 27 and 125 atoms in one element, respectively). For more information of the 1NN/2NN element and the Gaussian quadrature implementation, read Appendices A and B of Xu et al., 2015.

The three examples above correspond to the three examples in the subdomain command:

  • In the first example, there is only one grain, designated by the first 1, having only one subdomain, designated by the second 1, with the unitype = 12.
  • In the second example, there are two grains, designated by the first 1 and the second 2, respectively. The first grain has two subdomains: the first is atomistics because unitype = 1; the second contains elements each of which has (8+1)^3 = 729 atoms. The second grain has three subdomains: the first contains elements each of which has (6+1)^3 = 343 atoms; the second contains elements each of which has (16+1)^3 = 4913 atoms; the third contains elements each of which has (10+1)^3 = 1331 atoms.
  • In the third example, there are three grains, each of which contains one unit type. Note that the second grain is atomistics because unitype = 1.

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. Within each grain, the maximum subdomain_id must equal the corresponding subdomain_number.

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