T_02: Stepping in Temperature in the Fe-C System

This example shows how the fractions of stable phases vary for an Fe-0.1 mass-% C alloy when the temperature is varied between 500 and 2000 K. It demonstrates the use of the Equilibrium Calculator. To allow temperature to vary, the corresponding Axis Definition checkbox is selected.

Visualizations

This example is included as a tutorial on our website and as part of the Graphical Mode Examples playlist on our YouTube channel.

Open the example project file to review the node setup on the Project window and the associated settings on the Configuration window for each node. For some types of projects, you can also adjust settings on the Plot Renderer Configuration window to preview results before performing the simulation. Click Perform Tree to generate plots and tables to see the results on the Visualizations window.

T_02 Plot: Stepping in Temperature in the Fe-C System

Figure 1: In this example, results are displayed graphically using a Plot Renderer activity.

For the Plot Renderer, there is an option to use the Button: Table View Table View button to convert plots to table data for all calculation types and calculators. See Plot Renderer: Convert a Plot to a Table and Export the Data.

If you want, you can also use a Table Renderer to generate text results instead, as shown in this example after adding a Table Renderer to the Equilibrium Calculator and clicking Perform.
