Coarse-graining method for microstructure evolution of polycrystalline Nickel

Dear LAMMPS users,

Recently we try to simulate the microstructure evolution of polycrystalline nickel during linear friction welding. In classical MD, grain size is limited to nm scale. But here we want to model the grain size up to 10000 nm because of the size effect, and the system is about 1 mm1mm 1mm. Can I realize this work by using Lammps with coarse-graining or DPD packages? If it is ok, how will we do.
Any comments are greatly appreciated.

if somebody has figured out how to do this, it will likely be described in a publication. so the published literature is where you should be looking for answers.
