In this tutorial, Dr. Song Lu, senior researcher at the department of Materials Science and Engineering, will introduce the commonly used methods for determining the stacking fault energy (SFE), with a focus on the ab initio methods based on density functional theory calculations. He will also discuss different deviations and correlations in detail.

A pragmatic look at how to use the open-source programming language Julia for scientific computing. This tutorial compares strengths and weaknesses of Julia to other languages and gives an understanding of where Julia can be an effective tool.

The software package Thermo-Calc has developed a lot since it was introduced over 40 years ago. This is an introduction to what Thermo-Calc can do today. In this hands-on tutorial Dr. Åke Jansson will also show how the actual calculations are performed, starting from a very basic level and moving on to more complex problems.

Dr. Xiaoqing Li and Dr. Tim Fischer demonstrates how the Düsseldorf Advanced Material Simulation Kit (DAMASK) provides a flexible, easy-to-use and open-source multiphysics extension of the crystal plasticity method.
