Hi everyone,
I am trying to model elongated grains where the B/A and C/A aspect ratios are approximately equal (mean B/A = 0.424 and mean C/A = 0.419). The values I input for the B/A distribution is alpha = 2.3664 and beta = 3.2152. For C/A it is alpha = 2.3951 and beta = 3.3177. I have set the Axis ODF so that the A axis is in the Y direction, the B axis is in the X direction, and the C axis is in the Z direction.
However, when I generate the RVE, the B/A aspect ratio is too high (mean of about 0.6) whereas the C/A ratio is roughly accurate. I suspect this is because B must be greater than C in every grain, which leads to the average B axis length being too high. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? I've attached my pipeline for reference.
Thanks,
Isabella Snyder
