In this paper, a two dimensional finite element based microstructural model is constructed using Voronoi tessellation for representing polycrystalline material. Elastic wave propagation and Heat diffusion studies are then performed on constructed microstructure model.Computational issues regarding the development of the model are also discussed. It is observed that the anisotropy found in the single crystal are vanishing when wave passes through multiple grain orientation.
