Dendritic crystal growth in a pure undercooled melt is simulated quantitatively in three dimensions using a phase-field approach. The classic parameter {sigma}{sup *} that characterizes the dynamically selected operating state of the dendrite tip as well as the full nonaxisymmetric tip morphology are determined as a function of anisotropy for a crystal with a cubic symmetry. Results are compared to experiment and used to critically test solvability theory. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
