| Abstract Scope |
The field of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) grapples with a fundamental challenge: how can digital simulations effectively "represent reality" compared with real experimental data? Real materials display microstructural hierarchy, processing path dependence, and variation across spatial and temporal domains which is ultimately expressed through uncertainty in material behavior and performance. Within the realm of CALPHAD tools, de facto calculation methods (e.g. single calculations) do not adequately capture this complexity. However, a set of linked calculations can effectively model evolution in process-structure-property-relationships, thereby capturing uncertainty propagation. To address this challenge, we have developed TC-Python Workspace: an extension to the commercially available TC-Python API which allows users to generate flexible, connected, calculation workflows. We will overview the tool architecture, functionality, and its usage. Examples will showcase how to represent real-world material complexity and will demonstrate how users can assess uncertainty. |
