Virtual Coater
ICS is the exclusive dealer of UNAMUR Virtuel Coater (based on NASCAM
) simulation suite that delivers realistic simulations of your coatings by growing them in silico independently of the PVD deposition method.
Virtual Coater accelerates the process performance evaluation before committing to prototyping.
With VIrtual Coater, you get better understanding of your process and coating, and you design better product and solve problems.
More than 700 active users worldwide
Virtual Coater is simple, user-friendly and several plugins can be ordered to setup simulations and analyze results.
Find below a description of the code and plugins.
The order form is here and at the bottom.
Virtual Coater plugins (modules)
Nascam
Simulates the time evolution of atoms deposited on a substrate. It is based on the kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) method.
Process plugins
Three plugins are provided to help users to setup their process: REACTIVE GAZ, MAGNETRON and
SIMTRA to NASCAM.
Optic plugin
Computes the optical response of the simulated coating
Color plugin
Computes the color of the simulated coating
Electric plugin
Computes the electrical properties of the simulated coating by solving the Maxwell equations with a finite elements model.
Make substrate plugin
Generates the substrate on which deposition takes place
Porosity plugin
Computes the porosity of the simulated coating
Slice plugin
Creates slices of substrates or simulated coatings to have access to internal morphology.
Roughness plugin
Computes the correlation function of the simulated coating and display it like an SEM image
