Installation

DAMASK can be used in conjunction with three different solvers:

1. DAMASK_grid, the included solver for regular grids,

2. DAMASK_mesh, the included solver for unstructured meshes, and

3. MSC Marc, a commercial solver based on the Finite Element Method.

See Solver Selection for a comparison of the capabilities of each solver. Moreover, DAMASK comes with a collection of pre- and post-processing tools. Each of these four components can be installed separately.
