Forward modeling of diffraction peaks is a potential way to compare the results of theoretical mechanical simulations and experimental X-ray diffraction (XRD) data recorded during in situ experiments. As the input data are the strain or displacement field within a representative volume of the material containing dislocations, a computer-aided efficient and accurate method to generate these fields is necessary. With this aim, a current and promising numerical method is based on the use of the fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based method.
