"An Integrated Framework for Multi-Scale Materials Simulation": This paper describes a simulation framework for linking materials chemistry via first-principles calculations combined with CALPHAD, microstructure via a phase field approach, and mechanical properties via finite element analysis. A detailed example is provided for the Al-Cu binary system.
