CALCULATE_BELOW_SOLIDUS

This command is for the SCHEIL module.

The CALCULATE_BELOW_SOLIDUS command enables or disables the calculation of solid state properties at temperatures below the solidus temperature, using the phase compositions and fractions from the Scheil calculation. By default this is disabled.

The calculation is performed at a set number of temperatures between the solidus temperature and a lower temperature, which is by default set to room temperature. The end temperature and the number of points can be changed.

Syntax

CALCULATE_BELOW_SOLIDUS

Prompts

Calculate properties below solidus? /N/:

The default is N. Enter Y to calculate solid state properties below solidus .

If Y is entered, then you are prompted:

Final temperature (C) /25/:?

Enter the final temperature in degrees Celsius. Must be 25 C or higher.

Number of points /50/:?

Enter the number of points where solid state properties are calculated.
