Abstract In this work, new non-orthogonal computational grids are implemented into a phase field model called Phase Field Dislocation Dynamics (PFDD). We demonstrate that the new non-orthogonal grid can accommodate multiple slip planes in either the face centered cubic (FCC) or body centered cubic (BCC) crystallographic systems. We show that they avoid numerical errors induced when modeling glide on inclined slip planes in an orthogonal grid. The Gibbs effect that arises in the orthogonal or rotated orthogonal grids is substantially diminished when a non-orthogonal grid is employed. A few test cases demonstrate the effectiveness of using non-orthogonal grids in solving systems with multiple non-planar slip systems.
