T_03: Fe-C Phase Diagrams

This example shows the stable Fe-C phase diagram (stable meaning that the graphite phase is entered in the calculation). The same diagram is calculated using the Binary Calculator activity and then using a System Definer and Equilibrium Calculator.

In both cases, a Plot Renderer is used to display results. The purpose of the Binary Calculator is to simplify common calculations for binary systems. In the Equilibrium Calculator two Axes are defined on the Plot Renderer. An axis variable must be an equilibrium condition.

In the Plot Renderer settings window, click Show more and Show less to toggle between viewing all or some of the available settings.

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.
