abstract: >-
  DAMASK® is a unified multi-physics crystal plasticity
  simulation package. The solution of continuum mechanical
  boundary value problems requires a constitutive response
  that connects deformation and stress at each material
  point. This problem is solved in DAMASK on the basis of
  crystal plasticity using a variety of constitutive models
  and homogenization approaches. However, treating mechanics
  in isolation is no longer sufficient to study emergent
  advanced high-strength materials. In these materials,
  deformation happens interrelated with displacive phase
  transformation, significant heating, and potential damage
  evolution. Therefore, DAMASK is capable of handling
  multi-physics problems. Following a modular approach,
  additional field equations are solved in a fully coupled
  way using a staggered approach.
