## Agenda

1. Please add your name above
2. Any questions or items to raise for discussion (please add)
3. Reminders
    - Next WG meet
        - Tomorrow at 12 noon ET
        - Would changing the time help Michael and Hafiz
4. What is [MatCore](https://arxiv.org/html/2502.07106v1)?
5. Why are we doing this?
    - Met with Ellad Tadmoor and Jane Greenberg last month
    - They suggested that we add a PF section to the MatCore standard
    - We discussed the advantages and disadvanges of adding PF to MatCore
        - PF was thought to be a little out of scope
        - Only methods that generate properties is what Ellad thought initially, but PF very much is that.
            - Can't generate mechanical properties without microstructure!!!
6. What shall we do?
7. Next meeting?
