Guide to Using HYDRA3D: A Three-Dimensional Digital-Image-Based CementMicrostructural Model

摘要

A computer program, HYDRA3D, to simulate cement microstructural development andquantify microstructural characteristics has been developed. HYDRA3D is a menu drive program available in either Fortran or C which allows a user to create a starting microstructure, execute hydration, measure phase fractions, and assess phase connectivity. The manual outlines the conceptual model on which HYDRA3D is based, describes the programs in detail, and provides examples of program usage. A system calling diagram, source code listings, guidelines for modifying the programs, and system requirements are provided in the Appendices.
