Dear OOF Users --

The OOF developers at NIST are proud to announce the first version of
OOF3D.  OOF3D performs three dimensional finite element calculations
of material microstructures, using meshes formed from three
dimensional micrographs.

To be consistent with the numbering system used for OOF2, which began
with 2.0.0, this first version of OOF3D is called "OOF3D 3.0.0".  It
can be downloaded from

http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/oof/oof3d/

That web site includes installation instructions and a description of
the differences between OOF3D and OOF2.

Please download the program, try it out, and let us know if you
encounter any problems.

Send general questions, suggestions, and requests to
oof_manager@nist.gov, and bug reports to oof_bugs@nist.gov.  Please
use the new OOF3D bug reporting tool if possible.  It will help you to
assemble all of the relevant information into a file which you can
send to us.

Sincerely,
   The OOF Developers
