About Data Constrained Morphology

DCM (Data Constrained Morphology) is an application for predictive data-constrained modelling of material compositional microstructures. The input to the software includes computed tomography data sets taken at one or more monochromatic x-ray beam energies, and a list of possible compositions defined by their respective chemical formulae. Optionally, it also takes input of sectional composition maps, and interactions between different compositions. The output from the software is a quantitative high-resolution 3D composition map.

DCM has a built-in 3D visualisation capability, and the capability to calculate and visualise x-ray absorption properties for any composition.

DCM computes the complete microstructure of a volume of material, based on x-ray tomography data and optionally, one or more chemical composition sections. As a user, you define the material interactively, entering the compounds which define the compositions, and importing tomography and composition data. The material model is displayed in a 3D viewer as you manipulate data, and as the computation progresses. Model data can be loaded and saved in a DCM native format file, or as a stack of TIFF image files.
