Polymer (Polypropylene) nucleation grow and morphology dynamics under external forces are simulated by using hybrid simulation techniques.
The ambient phase and its properties are simulated using finite element methods in order to to accomplish for external forces like stress / strain / steady fluid-flow.
Nucleation grow is implemented as user-defined material within the FEM-solver using cellular automata (CA) to describe nucleation grow statisticaly.
Percolation algorithms are used to analyze evolving morphology of the system and provide graph-theoretic techniques for caching intermediate integrating results of the CA's in order to auto-detect areas of similiar behaviour (automatic symmetry detection).
