Below are details describing the various changes and new features of the MatCalc versions 6.02.xxxx. Version 6.02 is mostly a bugfix release. Only minor new features, but tons of better functionality for your work …

• Improved bug reporter. Send better automatic reports to MatCalc support.
• Several improvements in license manager functionality.
• Implemented functionality for nucleation driving force weighting function. This will facilitate on-particle transformation-based nucleation capability.
• Fixed erroneous treatment of Read-Shockley 'geometrically necessary dislocation density' (GND). By default, the subgrain misorientation angle is now zero. For proper GND evolution, the user can provide a function for the evolution of the misorientation angle.
• Changed default value for wall equilibrium dislocation density from Read Shockley to true. Mind the changes also from treatment of GND from above item.
• Improved treatment of dynamic strength: More consistent implementation of thermal and athermal contributions.
• Better implementation of scaling factor in plot axes. Will now correctly scale if locked series are rescaled.
• Removed DD_EQU. Replaced by DD_EQU_INT.
• Improved updater when recognizing new MatCalc version.
• Implemented new variables for composition-dependence of strengthening parameters (Sigma-Theta model) …
• Added strain rate exponent in thermal activation framework.

• Several memory leak bug fixes
• Fixed bug in treatment of subgrain diameter during recrystallization
• Fixed bug when creating more than 9 precipitate populations. You can now create 99 populations from one precipitate type.
• Fixed commands for use-linear-misfit-in-strength and linear-misfit-for-strength
• Fixed crash with sigma-theta model and tmt segments with zero strain
• Fixed wrong transfer of rexx fraction when using “reset-recrystallized-fraction” in tmt segment
• Fixed store order with segment post and pre-scripts as well as mse initializations
• Fixed problem with very large files (loading and storing)
• Fixed draw lines when no default style selected for a series and line type is “Lines”
• Fixed crash with reading databases after creating composition sets.
