Microstructural predictions on multi-pass processes are very challenging because the grains topology evolves in a very wide range, due to the coupled action of hardening, recovery, grain growth (GG), discontinuous dynamic and post dynamic recrys-tallization (DRX and PDRX). Classical models reach their limits. More physical approaches taking into account the complexity of the topology becomes necessary. In this article, DIGIMUQ®, the first commercial full field (FF) simulation software dedicated to grain growth and recrystallization modeling will be presented. Its ability to model industrial processes will be illustrated on an industrial-like 2D plate rolling process.
