Abstract

OOF and PPM200F are programs developed at NIST to investigate the properties of microstructures. The user starts with an image of a real or simulated microstructure, assigns material properties to the features in the image, and performs virtual experiments to determine the properties of the whole material. This manual describes OOF, the part of the package that performs the virtual experiments.
