Changes that Require POP File Recompilation

Some changes that you do interactively in the PARROT module or the ED_EXP sub-module destroys the data structure in the workspace. For example, if you add more composition sets to a phase, then the number of phases actually change and the links break between the experimental data and the thermodynamic models. Note that if the global minimization technique is used in POLY, then new composition sets that corrupts the PARROT workspace may be created automatically. If this happens, then you have to compile the POP file again.

If you recompile the POP file, then the experimental equilibria are calculated with the default start values.
