PanPrecipitation

A module of Pandatâ„¢ software, which is seamlessly integrated with the thermodynamic calculation engine, PanEngine, for the necessary thermodynamic input and mobility data, is designed for the simulation of precipitation kinetics during heat treatment process. It is built as a shared library and integrated into Pandatâ„¢ as a specific module that extends the capability of Pandatâ„¢ for kinetic simulations, while taking full advantage of the automatic thermodynamic calculation engine (PanEngine) and the user-friendly Pandat Graphical User Interface (PanGUI). For this reason, precipitation simulations for highly complex alloys under arbitrary heat treatment conditions can be accomplished with only a few operations. Figure 1 shows the three-layered architecture of this modeling tool.
