SELF-CON: A self consistent software package for micromechanical simulations
We present a user friendly software for micromechanicall simulations based in a Visco Plastic Self Consistent model. The input data is provided to the code in an interactive way and the output data can provide information in the form of texture, internal strains and stresses, stress-strain curves, plastic activity, etc.. The main features of the software are described in detail.
