TC‑Toolbox Documentation

There are various locations and formats of the documentation you need related to this SDK.

The TC-Toolbox for MATLAB® API Reference Documentation is available from these general locations (1) within the MATLAB® environment—both as help and as part of the tab completion (2) directly on the Thermo‑Calc website, and (3) locally in the Thermo‑Calc installation (Help>Manuals Folder).

API Reference Documentation

The TC‑Toolbox for MATLAB® API Reference Documentation is available either as interactive help (in HTML format or when in MATLAB® using tab completion or accessed via different menus or key combinations) or as a standalone PDF.

There are these ways to access the content:

  • Directly in MATLAB® via the Help menu then under Supplemental Software click TC‑Toolbox. Help is also available when writing code and using the tab completion feature and/or pressing different key combinations as described in the Best Practices section of the help.
  • From the website: HTML Help or PDF
  • Locally in a Thermo-Calc installation:
    • HTML: Help > Manuals Folder > TC-Toolbox_MATLAB, then click any HTML file.
    • PDF: Help > Manuals Folder > Software Development Kits (SDKs), then double-click to open the TC-Toolbox for MATLAB® API Programmer Guide. This is a copy of the HTML API reference documentation.

Installation Instructions

The installation instructions are only included in the Thermo-Calc help (press F1), and in the PDF version of the main installation guide found, for example:

  • On our website as part of the full Thermo-Calc Installation Guide.
  • Once Thermo-Calc is installed:
    • Locally in a Thermo-Calc installation: Help > Manuals Folder >Installation Guides.
    • Press F1 in Thermo-Calc to search the help.

Thermo-Calc Help (Limited)

For TC‑Toolbox, there is limited content included in the Thermo-Calc help (press F1 when in Thermo-Calc) because it is replaced by the TC‑Toolbox for MATLAB® API Reference Documentation. The exception is installation instructions to describe how to install the SDK.
