Description
Summary:Integrated Computational Materials Engineering, or ICME, applies a range of software tools in simultaneous or consecutive combinations. Major successful developments in the area of ICME up to the present have been essentially driven by academic and industrial users of simulation software. Starting with a brief overview of the benefits provided by ICME, the present article will give a short outline of the ICMEg consortium, the I ntegrated C omputational M aterials E ngineering expert g roup, and the related European project. The vision and mission of this project is defined and its practical implementation detailed. The chief aim of ICMEg is to set up a global and open communication standard and protocols on the component scale, on the microstructural scale, as well as basic underlying thermodynamic models and discrete models on the electronic, atomistic and mesoscopic scales.
