T_04: Fe-Cr-C Ternary Phase Diagram at 1000 K

This example shows a ternary phase diagram in the Fe-Cr-C system at 1000 K. Similar to example T_03: Fe-C Phase Diagrams, the same diagram is calculated using a Ternary Calculator and then using a System Definer and Equilibrium Calculator. Two Plot Renderer activities are added to create two plots.

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.

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

Try practicing with two features on the Plot Renderer Configuration window.

  • To toggle between a triangular and a rectangular diagram, click the  Toggle Triangular/Regular Diagram button Toggle Triangular/Regular Diagram button then click Perform to see what happens.
  • To toggle the X and Y axis variables, click the Switch Axes button Switch Axes button and then click Perform.
