ENTER_PHASE_IN_REGION

Enter a phase into a previously defined region.

Syntax

enter_phase_in_region

Prompts

Active or Inactive phase

Type of phase entered. An inactive phase is a phase which does not participate in the calculations until it is stable. This is done by regarding the driving force for precipitation of the phase in an equilibrium calculation. The program then automatically retransforms the inactive phase into an active one.

 

Region name

Name of the region into which the phase is to be entered.

 

Phase type

Type of phase entered.

Legal types are:

 

Phase name

Name of the phase that is to be entered. A #-sign and a digit may append the phase name in order to specify the composition set number, e.g. FCC#2.

 

Composition set

Number of the composition set. This is needed if the phase has been amended to have more than one composition set and the number was not given directly on the phase name, see above.

 

Attach to region named

Enter the name of the region onto which the inactive phase is to be attached.

 

Attached to the right of

Enter Y  to attach the inactive phase on the right side of the region. Enter N to attach on the left side.

 

Required driving force for precipitation

The required driving force (evaluated as DGM (phase) in POLY-3) to be used for determining whether an inactive phase is stable.

 

Condition type

Boundary condition used if the inactive phase becomes stable.
