Some introduction about ParaDiS can be found from these two websites:
ParaDiS: Dislocation Simulations (stanford.edu)
ParaDiS v3.0: Parallel Dislocation Simulator | Innovation and Partnerships Office (llnl.gov)
I hope you can share and discuss any questions if you are ParaDiS users and developers.
Hi Cong,
I am currently learning to use Paradis Code so as to carryout DD simulations and facing a issue from several months.
In my DD simulations, The Stress-Strain Curve after undergoing a initial hump, undergoes softening rather than hardening as shown below:

tantalum_nl.ctrl (1.8 KB)
scr15_cube5K_relax.data (301.6 KB)
fm-ctab.Ta.300K.0GPa.m2.t5.dat (272.1 KB)
I am unable to understand the reason for this issue.
I am getting similar stress strain curve with Different Mobility like BCC_0, BCC_nl and BCC_Ta.
But I have seen papers in which material undergo strain hardening after plastic deformation in DD simulations as shown below:
I have attached My Data File and Control File in this post.
If you have any ideas, regarding this , Kindly help.
