- List of commands can be obtained using the "?" command
- All the commands are case insensitive
- Abbreviations are present for commands
- goto_model has the same meaning as go, g_m or g
- Underscore has the same meaning as hyphen - g_m and g-m mean the same
- Command parameters can be entered in same line or separately
- Default value for a parameter is set using ",," just after the set command without a space
Macrofiles are used to save and rerun sets of commands. Replace exit in the log file by set_interactive and use the load macro option in the SYS module
-
SYS: System Utilities
- set_log_file [file] [comment]
- macro_file_open [file]
- set_tc_options [options]
- goto_module [name]
-
Database Retrieval module - Mainly to setup the database for further calculations
- goto_module → DATABASE_RETRIEVAL
- switch_database [database]
- Switching the database for carrying out calculations
- append_database [database]
- Appending to compatible database to carry out calculations
- define_system [components]
- Defining the components or the elements which we are considering for calculation will be shown
- From the list of options we will add some components to define the system
- get_data
- reject [option]
- restore [option]
- database_information
-
Gibbs Energy System (Use go g-e-s)
- list_data [screen|file]
- All the gibbs energy systems will be defined and output in the screen
- list_phase_data [phase]
- amend_phase_description [phase] [option]
- list_data [screen|file]
-
Poly Module (go POLY_3)
- Local and Global Minimization strategies are used
- This is important for the case of miscibility gaps
- POLY_3 switches between local and global minimization
- Function minimization is one of the important tasks which is performed by POLY_3 module
- set_condition [C+2 conditions]
- compute_equilibrium
- Computes the eqlbrm of the state and the values can be viewed using the Show command
- Local and Global Minimization strategies are used
-
Show_value command
- To display the variables values in the console
- G and G_M are two different things.
- G refers to the Gibbs energy of the component
- G_M is the molar gibbs energy
- The suffixes will be different, refer to the table attached in the ppt
- List Equilibrium
- To list the equilibrium which is established
-
Set_axis_variable
- Variation of one of the variables - You need to set the condition on a variable with upper and lower bound
- Default increment is used if we don't want to change anything
- After setting the axis we can save the data
- Save command is used to save the same
- step is used after setting the axes of the diagram
-
POST processing - POST Command
- SET_DIAGRAM_AXIS - s-d-a
- Input of Axis and the corresponding variable
- Use the PLOT_DIAGRAM to plot the diagram
- To set the temperature axis to celsius you can use T-C
- Use the plot command to plot the diagram
- Set reference State - s-re-s
- s-d-a y GMR(*) gives us the plots in different colors
- make_experimental_datafi - Makes a datafile of the processed data
- G-E-S Module
- Append Phase Description - amend_phase_description [phase] [option]
- REMOVE_ADDITIONS - removes all the additions to the mentioned phase
- We can switch back to poly3 module and calculate the Cp
- We have re-establish the equilibrium and then do the post processing required
- Append Phase Description - amend_phase_description [phase] [option]
- Poly
- Compute equilibrium
- save before stepping, make sure the files of ferro and para are different
- SET_DIAGRAM_AXIS - s-d-a
