Geometrical modeling: creating a numerical representation of the geometry
of the furnace. |

|
Mesh generation: decomposing each domain (i.e., a furnace component)
into pieces (i.e., triangles) on which an approximation of the solution is computed. Approximate local solutions
are gathered to obtain the global approximate solution. The accuracy of the results varies with
the mesh quality (size and shape of the triangles). |

Introduction of crystal growth process parameters:
the knowledge of the crystal growth technique is indispensable to successfully address both the crystal growth simulation and the crystal growth experiments. |

 |
|
Computer calculations: resolving the equations that modelize the thermodynamic phenomena occuring in your crystal growth process. This involves an iterative process which, depending on the input parameters, may or may not converge quickly to a solution. |
