Running a simulation in VPSC usually results in an output file TEX_PH1.OUT which contains multiple sets of orientations for different strain levels. As these files does not contain any information on the crystal symmetry we need to specify it first
In the next step the orientations are imported and converted into a list of ODFs using the command ODF.load.
The individual ODFs can be accessed by odf{id}
The information about the strain are stored as additional properties within each ODF variable
Compare pole figures during deformation
Next we examine the evaluation of the ODF during the deformation by plotting strain depended pole figures.
Visualize slip system activity
Alongside with the orientation data VPSC also outputs a file ACT_PH1.OUT which contains the activity of the different slip systems during the deformation. Lets read this file as a table
and plot the slip activity with respect to the strain for the different modes
