Database Installation Folder

The standard Thermo‑Calc databases and the database initialization file tc_initd.tdb are located in a subfolder to the Thermo‑Calc installation. For example, in a Windows Standalone installation, you can find these in a folder called data where the file path is C:\Program Files\Thermo‑Calc\<version>\data.
