Design, run, and share computational materials science workflows

Feature parity with the old code (LightForm-group/matflow)

This is a list tracking which workflows/tasks we have reimplemented/tested in the new code.

Symbol	Meaning
✅	Tested and functional (may be undocumented)
❓	Untested but should in principle work; may need tweaks to the template parametrisation
❌	Requires a missing core feature in hpcflow, or a missing software integration
-	Will not be reimplemented (e.g. superseded by another)

Demo workflows

Workflow	Status	Notes
tension_DAMASK_Al	✅	Available as a demo workflow (tension_DAMASK_Al)
tension_DAMASK_Mg	✅	Available as a demo workflow (tension_DAMASK_Mg)
single_crystal_parameter_fitting	✅	Available as a demo workflow (fit_single_crystal_parameters)
Dream3D_RVE_simulation	❌	Requires `generate_volume_element/from_statistics/Dream3D`
fit_yield_function	✅	Available as as a demo workflow
