LIST_PHASE_DATA
This command is for the Gibbs Energy System (GES) module.
All data for a specific phase are written in a readable manner on screen. The thermochemical parameters listed for the phase are always in SI units.
For encrypted commercial databases you may not be able to use this command to list any phase data. However, this command can be used for listing some basic definitions (such as phase model and phase-constituents) for the specified phase, as well as all the references related to original assessments (but not thermodynamic parameters) for the currently-defined system.

Phase name: <Phase name> Specify a phase name (if abbreviated, it should be unique). |
Output Differences: GES5 vs GES6
GES6 is a re-write and new implementation of the Gibbs Energy System module of Thermo‑Calc and it is the default engine. The previous version, GES5, is still available and will continue to work in the background of the program where necessary. The main purpose of GES6 is to support faster development of new features.
As required you can set Thermo‑Calc to use GES5 instead of the default with the SET_GES_VERSION command. The application may also automatically and temporarily switch to GES5 when a database is being used that is not compatible with GES6.
For GES6 the output data consists of the phase definition and the data associated with the phase, sorted by system. In GES6, there is a subcommand that allows filtering of phase parameters with respect to the property type e.g., to include only volume parameters and/or viscosity parameters in the output.
