Recently, an original full field model using the level set method in a finite element framework has been introduced and validated at the Mines ParisTech - Center for Materials Forming. This approach has demonstrated its potential for the simulation of 2D or 3D large scale grain growth and recrystallization problems. Through the development of the DigiMu® software by Transvalor, this methodology is now considered for industrial applications.
