Installation Default Directory: TC-Toolbox and the Examples
The software component and the examples are installed as described below.
This is the default path to the installation folder for the TC-Toolbox component on Windows operating systems. Be aware that the initial installation files and examples are placed in Public\Documents, then after opening Thermo-Calc for the first time, these are copied to the Documents folder for each user. The documentation is installed elsewhere and as described in TC‑Toolbox Documentation.
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

Both the installation files AND the examples are installed in the following folders. The default Windows folders where the TC-Toolbox examples are installed starts with the original installation placing these under Public Documents for ALL USERS. For a local user, and after Thermo-Calc is opened for the first time, these files are copied to the user’s Documents folder where this local copy is associated to the user login. The Public Documents folder always contains the original set of contents as per the installation. C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Thermo‑Calc\<version>\SDK\TC-Toolbox-MATLAB After installing Thermo‑Calc, and when you first open the program, the set of folders containing the examples is copied from the source Public\Documents location into a user Documents folder: C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Thermo‑Calc\<version>\SDK\TC-Toolbox-MATLAB\Examples It is recommended that you work with the files that are copied to the user folder. |
