Import Ensemble Info File

Group (Subgroup)

IO (Input)

Description

This Filter reads in information about the crystal structure and phase types of all the Features that are contained in a Cell based volume. These values are needed to allow the calculation of statistics on the volume, if they have not already been provided by some other means. The format of the input file is a simple ASCII text file with the extension .ini or .txt. The first group in the file is the name [EnsembleInfo] in square brackets with the key Number_Phases=number of phases that are contained in the volume. Subsequent groups in the file list the Phase Number, Crystal Structure and Phase Type. The proper values for the crystal structure and phase type come from internal constants within DREAM.3D and are listed here:

Crystal Structure

String Name Internal Value Laue Name
Hexagonal_High 0 Hexagonal-High 6/mmm
Cubic_High 1 Cubic Cubic-High m3m
Hexagonal_Low 2 Hexagonal-Low 6/m
Cubic_Low 3 Cubic Cubic-Low m3 (Tetrahedral)
Triclinic 4 Triclinic -1
Monoclinic 5 Monoclinic 2/m
OrthoRhombic 6 Orthorhombic mmm
Tetragonal_Low 7 Tetragonal-Low 4/m
Tetragonal_High 8 Tetragonal-High 4/mmm
Trigonal_Low 9 Trigonal-Low -3
Trigonal_High 10 Trigonal-High -3m
UnknownCrystalStructure 999 Undefined Crystal Structure

Phase Type

String Name Internal Value
PrimaryPhase 0
PrecipitatePhase 1
TransformationPhase 2
MatrixPhase 3
BoundaryPhase 4
UnknownPhaseType 999

Example Input

Phase numbering starts at One (1). Phase Zero (0) is reserved for internal use in DREAM.3D For example, if you have a structure that has 2 phases that consist of a Cubic Primary phase and a Hexagonal Matrix phase the file would be the following:

[EnsembleInfo]
Number_Phases=2

[1]
CrystalStructure=Cubic_High
PhaseType=PrimaryPhase

[2]
CrystalStructure=Hexagonal_High
PhaseType=MatrixPhase
