Abstract

The effective macroscopic behaviour of a material is a manifestation of the underlying microstructure and microscale processes. This renders the generation of highly accurate digital microstructure twins indispensable for multiscale simulations. Mosaic is a Python-based, open-source software tool designed to address the challenge of incorporating non-planar, periodic microstructures generated by the software Neper into simulations that require periodic boundary conditions. Mosaic transforms these complex microstructures into rectilinear periodic equivalents and, additionally, makes it possible to account for material interfaces such as grain and phase boundaries. This transformation enables continuous integration with various simulation tools and workflows, facilitating accurate and efficient simulations of the effective material response.

Neper-Mosaic：在单位域上无缝生成周期性代表性体元

材料的有效宏观行为是其基本微观结构和微观过程的体现。因此，生成高精度的数字微观结构孪晶对于多尺度模拟是必不可少的。Mosaic是一款基于Python的开源软件工具，旨在解决将Neper软件生成的非平面、周期性微观结构纳入需要周期性边界条件的模拟中的难题。Mosaic 能将这些复杂的微观结构转化为直角周期等效结构，此外，它还能对晶粒和相界等材料界面进行解释。通过这种转换，可以与各种模拟工具和工作流程进行持续集成，促进对有效材料响应进行准确、高效的模拟。

期刊介绍： SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
