CHECK_PHASE_SET

This command is available with the HOMOGENIZATION_MODEL as a command within the ADVANCED_HOMOGENIZATION_OPTIONS.

This command is only available with single region simulations.

One difficulty with single region multiphase simulations is to choose which phases should take part in the simulation, i.e. which phases should be entered in the region; what phases are stable, or become stable, is often a part of the question and the diffusion path is not known a priori. With this command it may be checked which, if any, phases read from the database but not entered in the region have become stable. The interval at which checks are made can be set to some extent. Whether a simulation should be terminated when a non-entered phase become stable can also be set. Finally, it can also be set whether some phases should be excluded from the check, if for example a phase has been read only to be used to define a reference state.

Syntax	CHECK_PHASE_SET
Prompt	CHECK SET OF PHASES ENTERED INTO SIMULATION (Y/N): USE THIS FEATURE WITH DEFAULT SETTINGS? (Y/N): if NO, the following settings can be made: OPTIONS FOR CHECK INTERVAL: 1. BEGINNING AND END OF SIMULATION 2. EVERY TIME RESULTS ARE SAVED 3. AS #2, BUT TERMINATE SIMULATION IF NON-ENTERED PHASE BECOME STABLE CHOOSE OPTION 1-3: PERFORM CHECK USING GLOBAL MINIMIZATION? (Y/N): SHOULD ANY PHASE BE EXCLUDED FROM THE CHECK? (Y/N): if YES, then those phases are prompted for.

Prompt

CHECK SET OF PHASES ENTERED INTO SIMULATION (Y/N):

USE THIS FEATURE WITH DEFAULT SETTINGS? (Y/N):

if NO, the following settings can be made:

OPTIONS FOR CHECK INTERVAL:

1. BEGINNING AND END OF SIMULATION

2. EVERY TIME RESULTS ARE SAVED

3. AS #2, BUT TERMINATE SIMULATION IF NON-ENTERED PHASE BECOME STABLE

CHOOSE OPTION 1-3:

PERFORM CHECK USING GLOBAL MINIMIZATION? (Y/N):

SHOULD ANY PHASE BE EXCLUDED FROM THE CHECK? (Y/N):

if YES, then those phases are prompted for.
