The phase-field dislocation dynamics (PFDD) model is extended to simulate cross-slip in body-centered cubic materials. The model makes use of a non-orthogonal, body-centered cubic numerical grid such that all calculable points lie on dislocation glide planes. We demonstrate that the advanced PFDD model predicts a low-energy, non-planar core for screw dislocations and a planar core for edge dislocations. These core differences result in screw-edge character dependence in the critical stress to initiate glide and dislocation drag coefficients. Finally, we show that this model can be used to study the propensity of screw dislocations to cross-slip around or transmit through a coherent, crystallographic obstacle, depending on obstacle strength.
