Welcome to Pandat Help Center

Pandat is a powerful software package developed based on the CALPHAD approach for multi-component thermodynamic and phase diagram calculations, as well as solidification, precipitation, diffusion, and phase-field simulations. It features a robust thermodynamic calculation engine, a user-friendly graphical interface, and flexible post-processing capabilities that allow users to generate a wide range of property diagrams through customizable table editing. Pandat is designed as an integrated platform and currently includes six modules. Its capabilities can be further expanded with additional modules.

Latest Updates in Pandat 2026

CompuTherm is pleased to announce the release of the third-generation Pandat framework, designed to enable scalable integration between CALPHAD-based materials property calculations and external data-driven environments. This new architecture introduces PanLink, a unified runtime integration layer that seamlessly connects phase equilibrium, solidification, precipitation, grain growth, and recrystallization modeling with FEM, phase-field, ICME, and AI frameworks. As shown in Figure 1, computational efficiency is achieved through PanDataNet, which maps thermodynamic state space for rapid reuse, together with spatial cell clustering and adaptive time control algorithms to minimize redundant evaluations across large simulation domains.

Other Key new features and enhancements include:

• Introduction of martensite and bainite start temperature calculations in the PanPhaseDiagram module
• Capability to calculate critical points and critical peaks along critical lines and surfaces
• Flexible database syntax supporting the Einstein heat capacity model and two-state liquid model
• Further improvements in PanDiffusion, PanEvolution, and PanSolidification modules
