Hi all,

I am trying to use ABAQUS to study stress-strain distributions in a polycrystalline material. To this end, my first goal is to simulate elastic deformation (small strain) of a polycrystalline sample of an elastically anisotropic material. What I am looking for are some tutorials or case studies of polycrystal deformation, where I can learn how to set up and simulate polycrystalline deformations. I found lots of literature on plastic deformation of polycrystalline materials (mainly using crystal plasticity finite element method). I am not concerned with plasticity and would like to know if there are simpler programs (or subroutines) for elastic deformation of polycyrstals. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Thanks.
