DefDAP EDAX Files

I'm currently trying to load EDAX type files (.ang) but the notebook example only uses cpr, crc or ctf files. Is there a way to load EDAX files without having to convert them to the ctf format? Additionally, are there any sample notebooks that cover DefDAP's trace analysis features? Thanks Ty

Hi Ty,

The 'develop' branch of DefDAP supports the .ang EDAX file format. You can download it here: https://github.com/MechMicroMan/DefDAP/tree/develop. We have changed quite a lot in this version so take a look at the example notebook in that branch.

The trace analysis features are not so well documented at the moment but happy to arrange a chat. Do you have clearly defined planar slip bands or is it more diffuse?

Drop me an email at [email protected] if you need help with any of this

Hi, I am using the develop branch to load a .ang file. However, there seems to be a bug in the reader where it insists that the first number after Phase in the header, must be numbered 1. This need not be the case. An example can be found here where Phase in the header is followed by 2. Same is the case for the file I am trying to read.

Hi @AnkitBarik what error are you getting when you try to load your file and are you using the the latest develop branch. Looking at the file you linked, it should raise this error: 'Phases not sequential in file?'.
