At the microstructural level, this involves a complex interplay between chemical (e.g. elemental or alloy content) and physical (e.g. pore morphology and distribution) properties . Modelling represents one of the most cost-effective tools for rapidly optimizing of the processing and fabrication parameters required to achieve the desired results.=0A=0AA highly parallel micro-level thermal transport code has been developed in CUDA, which, to date, has achieved more than 100x increase in simulation speed. Co-simulation with the commercial FEA package Abaqus is envisaged, which will provide a coupled, macro-level structural analysis capability.
