Updating the Database File

About the Database Files

To update the database file (with filename extension TDB) open it in a text editor and enter or update each of the parameters that you have optimized.

For example, suppose you have the following command in your setup file:

ENTER_PARAMETER L(IONIC_LIQ,AL+3,ZR+4:O-2;0) 298.15  +V17; 6000 N

If you then end up with a value for optimizing variable V17 of -100000, then you should enter the following under the IONIC_LIQ phase in the database file:

PARAM L(IONIC_LIQ,AL+3,ZR+4:O-2;0) 298.15 -100000; 6000 N REF !

If you often need to round-off the optimizing variable value in some way, see Rounding off Optimizing Variable Values.

When you have updated or entered the parameters that you optimized, save the database file.
