the active slip system in HCP alloys

[zhangz95]

In EBSD-assisted slip trace analysis of Mg alloys, we need a code to express the 12 possible traces and Schmid factors for each orientation in which a trace was detected and determination of the active slip system. Please help me, thank you!

Hi,
have you had a look here: https://mtex-toolbox.github.io/SchmidtFactor.html ?

Dear Rüdiger，
Thank you very much for your reply. I can calculate the possible slip system according to your answer. However，I want to go further and get this kind of projection like graph, like the last one in the link：https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S1359645414007496-gr1.jpg
Cheers.

For a slip system `sS` you get the trace by `sS.trace` Ralf.
