Hi!

I am trying to simulate phase transformation during rapid heating and cooling in laser hardening process. I modeled laser heat source with dflux user subroutine for non-gaussian heat source. I would like to know which subroutine to use to model phase transformation and volume fraction (martensite, austenite, bianit, perlit, ferit) during laser heating. I was thinking about USDFLD. Any suggestions? examples?

thanks in forward
