- Abstract
- A collection of modelling and analysis programs dealing with cement microstructure has been assembled into a single package. This manual describes the custom user interface, CMMAP, which alloows the user to access and execute the assembled software. Specific programs exist to create starting microstructures, simulate hydration, and analyze both starting and hydrated microstructures. Available analyses include evaluation of diffusion coefficients, simulation of mercury intrusion porosimetry, and assessment of the connectivity of phases wihtin a cement microstructure. The menu-based interface program is described in detail and several examples are presented which demonstrate the capabilities of CMMAP.
