Define the Diffusion Calculator

Working with diffusion simulations is an advanced topic. It is recommended you review the Diffusion Module (DICTRA) documentation and videos available or search for a specific topic.

1. Add a Diffusion Calculator node to the System Definer. If you used the Diffusion template (on the My Projects Configuration window under Non-Equilibrium), click the node to display the Configuration settings window.

2. In the Diffusion Calculator Configuration window, enter the settings described in Diffusion Calculator: Conditions Tab Settings and Diffusion Calculator: Options Tab Settings.

   The Composition Profiles and Thermal Profile are both set up on the Configuration window for a Diffusion Calculator. These are previewed in the Visualizations window.

   When you also have licenses either for the Diffusion Module (DICTRA) and/or the Precipitation Module (TC-PRISMA), for transient simulations you can additionally include probe data from the AM Calculator in the set up of the thermal profile for diffusion and precipitation calculations, respectively.

3. Once you have finished defining the Diffusion Calculator, you also choose settings on the Plot Renderer. Some additional settings are specific to the Diffusion Calculator Plot Renderer.
