About the Workshop

The ICME Tools Workshop will provide attendees with an in-depth understanding of and ability to use ICME software tools such as nanoHUB and DREAM.3D. Additionally, the Metals Affordability Initiative tutorial will serve as an overview of ICME tools and methods that were spawned from the program. Portions of the ICME Tools Workshop will be hands-on, so attendees should come prepared with a laptop.

Schedule

Thursday, July 25

Time Event
12:10 PM - 12:30 PM Workshop Check In
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Lunch
1:30 PM - 5:00 PM Metals Affordability Initiative Tutorial

Lead Instructor: Vasisht Venkatesh

The Metals Affordability Initiative (MAI) was created in 1999 by the Air Force Research Lab’s Materials and Manufacturing Directorate to boost technology development, aimed at lower cost materials and manufacturing methods enabling efficient component designs. The MAI consortium is made up of the entire cross section of the metals aerospace supply chain working as a team. This workshop will review ICME tools and methods that were developed under a few of the recently completed programs.
3:00 PM - 3:20 PM Break

Friday, July 26

Time Event
7:30 AM - 8:00 AM Workshop Check In
8:00 AM - 9:30 AM Travel to Purdue University
9:30 AM - 12:30 PM nanoHUB Tutorial

Lead Instructors: Alejandro Strachan, Tanya Faltens, Martin Hunt, and Benjamin Haley

Participants in this hands-on, developers workshop will gain the knowledge needed to publish simulation tools and workflows in nanoHUB. Once deployed, these tools are accessible to users from around the world for cloud computing. Fully interactive simulations can be executed from any standard web browser without the need to download or install any software, making them available not only to experts but to the broader scientific community. Furthermore, nanoHUB tools are indexed by Web of Science and Google Scholar, and detailed usage statistics are collected and published.
The workshop participants will:
  • Learn how to create and deploy nanoHUB tools and workflows.
  • Learn about nanoHUB environment of scientific tool development
  • Understand different types of nanoHUB tools and key advantages of each
  • Submit computationally intensive jobs to nanoHUB HPC resources
  • Access and use existing nanoHUB ICME resources, including UQ and calibration tools
  • Create a GUI for your tool using the Rappture toolkit
  • Create a GUI for your tool and workflows using Jupyter notebooks or labs
  • Access technical help via our tool ticket system
11:00 - 11:20 PM Break
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Lunch
1:30 PM - 4:00 PM DREAM.3D

Lead Instructor: Michael A. Jackson

In this tutorial attendees will learn basic materials science and engineering data analysis techniques using the DREAM.3D application. Subjects that will be covered include the import of data acquired from SEM and optical microscopes, alignment and cleanup of 3D data, and the generation of synthetic microstructures using the native capabilities of DREAM.3D. Additional subjects will cover the export of microstructure models for use in other ICME tools. This is expected to be a hands on tutorial so attendees are encouraged to be ready with a working version of DREAM.3D from http://dream3d.bluequartz.net
2:40 PM - 3:00 PM Break
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM Kepner Laboratory Tour
5:00 PM - 6:30 PM Travel to JW Marriott

Who Should Attend

Individuals involved in computational science and engineering in industry, universities, and government laboratories will benefit from attending this course.

ICME Tools Workshop Organizers

  • Michael Sangid, Purdue University
  • Vasisht Venkatesh, Pratt & Whitney

About the Instructors

Metals Affordability Initiative Tutorial

Vasisht Venkatesh is Associate Director for Materials and Processes Modeling at Pratt & Whitney (P&W). In his role, Vasisht leads efforts in the development and implementation, of model-based materials definitions within P&W. He has extensive experience in the areas of microstructure-process-property relationships, materials characterization, process monitoring, and mechanical testing. He has lead several Air Force funded projects including the Foundational engineering Problem (FEP) on the ICME of Residual Stress in Ni base Superalloy Rotors. Vasisht has over 20 years of industrial R&D expertise leading activities to develop, validate and implement linked computational modeling tools to optimize various alloy processes for microstructure, texture and mechanical property enhancement.

NanoHUB Tutorial

Alejandro Strachan is a Professor of Materials Engineering at Purdue and nanoHUB’s Deputy Director. His expertise is on predictive materials modeling and leads efforts to enhance simulations in nanoHUB.

Tanya Faltens leads education and outreach activities in nanoHUB and is in charge of several center to center partnerships.

Martin Hunt is a Senior Software Engineer at Purdue and member of the nanoHUB technical team. He leads efforts on simulation delivery and Jupyter in nanoHUB.

Benjamin Haley is a Senior Software Engineer at Purdue and leads efforts on speculative and volunteer computing.

DREAM.3D Tutorial

Michael A. Jackson is owner of and principal engineer at BlueQuartz Software, LLC located in Springboro, Ohio. Jackson received his B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from Wright State University in 1997 and subsequently spent two years at Pratt & Whitney's Florida Materials Engineering department working on manufacturing issues related to the cast-ability of magnesium alloys. Michael has spent the last 19 years in the scientific software development community helping to write software systems for visualization, military engine inspection, client-server data retrieval systems and open source data analysis. Jackson's main areas of interest and expertise are the maturation of research grade computational codes into full fledge software applications that can be used by the practicing materials engineer. Over the last 10 years, Jackson has been one of the primary developers behind the DREAM.3D software toolkit and provides continuous support to the DREAM.3D community through onsite training seminars and the DREAM.3D online forums. Mr. Jackson also lends support to the EM/MPM Workbench software application (http://www.bluequartz.net/?page_id=452).
