Creating the POP File

Before starting an optimization in Thermo‑Calc, you must collect relevant experimental data about your system that is available in the research literature. This data is then entered in the POP file. The experimental data points and measurements are entered in this plain text file in the form of ED_EXP commands. 

The syntax of the POP file is in principle independent of the models used for describing the phases in the system.
