Downloadable software and data

  • OIM tool box enables many useful calculations associated with processing OIM data, for use on windows machines.
  • Automatic Image Analysis programs for Windows machines. We recommend that you download the most recent version (mims_gui.exe) which is a self-installing archive. Just double-click on the file and it will install a GUI that performs skeletonization, triple junction identification (line follow), image stitching and distortion corrections. Installation instructions are also available for the older versions of the programs, together with a software description.
  • Grain Boundary Tracer for windows machines
  • Microstructure Builder: this is a package of codes for building 3D microstructures based on EBSD/OIM input (developed for Unix systems only, but a Windows version is available). This package was developed primarily by Joe Fridy (Alcoa) and David Saylor (CMU, NIST) with assistance from Tony Rollett, Kee-Young Jung, Steve Sintay and Abhijit Brahme. It uses EBSD maps on orthogonal cross-sections as input (for grain shape, orientation and grain boundary character). The output is either a surface mesh or a voxel-based regular grid, with crystal orientations specified for each grain. The output is intended for use either for constructing finite element meshes or for use in grain growth codes. Suggestions for extensions of the capability are welcome. Only single-phase materials can be modeled at present. Two-phase microstructures are under development. To obtain a current version of the package, please contact Steve Sintay [ssintay@andrew.cmu.edu].
