About the Examples

Many of our Graphical Mode examples have video tutorials, which you can access in a variety of ways. When in Thermo‑Calc, from the menu select Help → Video Tutorials, or from the main My Project window, click Video Tutorials. Alternately, you can go to the website or our YouTube channel.

Console Mode examples are available for Thermo‑Calc and the Diffusion Module (DICTRA). The macro files are in the format of *.TCM and *.DCM, respectively.

There are other file types when you are working in Console Mode. See Working with the Console Mode File Types or About the DICTRA File Formats.

A description of the Thermo‑Calc examples, and how to access them, is based on whether you are using Graphical Mode or Console Mode.

A description of Diffusion Module (DICTRA) examples, which are available for both Graphical Mode and Console Mode, is included in both the Thermo‑Calc and Diffusion Module (DICTRA) documentation.

For Graphical Mode, see Diffusion Module (DICTRA) Graphical Mode Examples Collection

For Console Mode see Opening the Setup, Run, and Plot Macro Files where there are links to descriptions of all the examples.

All the macro files and the outputs are also combined into one file that you can search and read. This is included with your installation as a PDF (go to Help → Manuals folder → Diffusion Module (DICTRA) and open Diffusion Module Console Mode Example Macros.

A description of examples using the Precipitation Calculator, which is only available in Graphical Mode, is included in both the Thermo‑Calc and Precipitation Module (TC-PRISMA) documentation.

There are examples for TC-Python available after installing the SDK. A brief description of the TC‑Python SDK examples, and how to access these, is in TC‑Python Examples.

There are examples for the TQ-Interface available as described in Installed Examples, Manuals, and Materials Folders. See Installing the TQ-Interface and Examples for brief descriptions.

There are included examples with all TC-Toolbox installations. These are generally the same as the examples included with TC‑Python although with a different suffix (matex) and prefix (*.m or *.mlx) in the file name. Not all examples included with TC-Python are available for this SDK. You can read summaries about the examples as described in the online help topic TC‑Toolbox for MATLAB Examples.

See Installation Default Directory: TC-Toolbox and the Examples to learn where these are located. Also see About TC-Toolbox for MATLAB®.

Each database has a Validation and Calculation Examples Collection as part of its technical content in this help. See About the Database Examples for more information or browse or search to see what you can find.
