About the Property Models
Property Models are used to predict and optimize properties of materials using models stored within the software where the calculations are set up in the Property Model Calculator.
General Models
The following General Property Models are available with the Property Model Calculator.
The General Models are available to all users.
To run calculations with the Add-on Property Model Libraries all require a valid maintenance license plus a license for the specific database version: Nickel Models (TCNI11 and newer and MOBNI5 and newer; Noble Metal Alloys Models (TCNOBL3 and newer); Steel Models (TCFE9 and newer + MOBFE4 and newer); Titanium Models (TCTI6 and newer).

Calculation Types
The Property Model Calculator includes these calculation types:
- Single: Calculates a single point.
- One Axis: Varies a quantity on the X-axis.
- Grid: Evaluates two axis variables of the selected quantities in the specified range and number of steps. You can then select to create heat map, contour and 3D plots on the Plot Renderer.
- Min/Max: Evaluates the Property Model(s) for all variations of the selected quantities at the given limits. The Mean field is as defined under Condition Definitions for the respective quantity. The total minimum and maximum of the Model(s) results are shown in the Event log.
- Uncertainty: Evaluates the Property Model(s) where the values of the quantities are sampled from Gaussian distributions. The Mean field is as defined under Condition Definitions for the respective quantity. The result is visualized as a histogram or normal probability plot by adding a Plot Render activity.
- Batch: Use this to allow for high throughput calculations and read data from a file, such as a spreadsheet. You can include experimental results in the data file, which then can be used to compare to the batch calculation results.
