SKIP_STEP_CALCULATION
This command is for the SCHEIL module.
Use the SKIP_STEP_CALCULATION command to skip the step (also called one axis) calculation that is by default performed before the Scheil calculation in Thermo-Calc. The step calculation is used to plot the equilibrium solidification curve, which is shown for comparison if the default axis variables are used. This is sometimes referred to as the equilibrium line.
If a comparison to equilibrium is not necessary, change the default setting and then only a Scheil calculation is performed. This results in a much faster calculation, which for a complex system may be preferable.
