APPEND_DATABASE

This command is for the DATABASE_RETRIEVAL (TDB) module.

Appends data to the current set of data already read from another database. The syntax is the same as for the SWITCH_DATABASE command.

This command enters all additional functions and parameters to already existing phases, e.g atomic mobilities, phase constituents, excess models, G0 and interaction parameters.

This command is most commonly used to read mobility data from stand-alone mobility databases.

This command should be used with some caution if thermodynamic data is appended and the application is run with Gibbs Energy System version 5 (see SET_GES_VERSION in the SYS module). It can change calculated values in an unexpected way. This can happen e.g. if the appended database has the same function name as a function in the data retrieved from a database opened with SWITCH_DATABASE.

Syntax	APPEND_DATABASE
Prompt	New database name /XYZ/: The name of either an existing database (e.g. FEDEMO) or USER.
