Tutorial

In general, user should follow five steps to carry out a precipitation or grain growth simulation:

Create workspace and project: Create a PanEvolution module project in an existing or a new workspace.
Load thermodynamic and mobility database: Load thermodynamic and mobility database (.tdb or .pdb file). The database must contain both thermodynamic and mobility data.
Create or Load kinetic parameter database (.kdb file): Create a kdb file from the template and set proper parameters for the kdb file, or load a predefined kdb file with proper parameters. Then select the matrix phase and precipitate phases available in precipitation database for simulation
Simulation conditions setting: Set the conditions for Precipitation or/and Grain growth Simulation, including alloy compositions, initial conditions and thermal history, then perform the simulation.
Post Calculation Operation: Edit tables and graphs from the calculated results.
