The dislocation density distribution in the 32 grain microstructure immediately after deformation (left) and after 35 min of constant deformation (right). The maximum display value for \(\rho \) has been set to \(5\cdot 10^{14}\) m\(^{-2}\) (the scale of the colorbar is in \(\upmu \mathrm {m}^{-2}\)) in order to more clearly demonstrate how it is distributed over the grains. The true maximum value is \(1.9\cdot 10^{15}\) m\(^{-2}\). There is only one possible slip system in the simulations
