File Formats#

DAMASK is controlled with two sets of configuration files:

  1. Generic files for all solvers in YAML style:

    • Mandatory materialpoint configuration

    • Optional numerics configuration

  2. Solver-specific files for geometry and load case.

DAMASK results are stored in an HDF5 file.

  • Materialpoint Configuration
    • homogenization
    • phase
    • material
  • Numerics Configuration
