Find Twin Boundaries

Group (Subgroup)

Statistics (Crystallographic)

Description

This Filter identifies all Triangles between neighboring Features that have a σ = 3 twin relationship. The Filter uses the average orientation of the Features on either side of the Triangle to determine the misorientation between the Features. If the axis-angle that describes the misorientation is within both the axis and angle user-defined tolerance, then the Triangle is flagged as being a twin. After the Triangle is flagged as a twin, the crystal direction parallel to the Face normal is determined and compared with the misorientation axis if Compute Coherence is selected. The misalignment of these two crystal directions is stored as the incoherence value for the Triangle (in degrees). Note that this Filter will only extract twin boundaries if the twin Feature is the same phase as the parent Feature.

Parameters

Axis Tolerance (Degrees) float Degree of tolerance for angular distance from the [111] axis
Angle Tolerance (Degrees) float Degree of tolerance for angular deviation from 60o
Compute Coherence bool Whether to compute the coherence between the Face normal and the misorientation axis

Required Geometry
