Overview

In 2020, MuPRO released several commercial simulation programs: two phase-field models — the Ferroelectric module and the Ferromagnetic module — and an Effective Properties calculation program. Inside MuPRO, a single shared library powered all of these seemingly separate programs.

Since then we had planned to release that core library itself, so that users could modify the main programs and get the most out of the solvers. It is also our most frequently heard request: “can we change some simple things in the main program?”

In 2023 we answered it with the MuPRO Phase-Field SDK.

What the SDK provides

• a distributed-parallel simulation framework (MPI)
• multiple solvers built on the fast Fourier transform:
  • elastic equilibrium
  • Poisson’s equation
  • the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation
  • the time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau equation
  • the Allen–Cahn equation
  • the Cahn–Hilliard equation
• free-format parameter input
• a uniform data input and output layer
