Pandat 2024: The Premier Platform for Computational Materials Thermodynamics Pandat 2024 is an industry-leading software package designed specifically for computational thermodynamics and phase diagram calculations using the CALPHAD (Calculation of PHase Diagrams) methodology. Developed by CompuTherm LLC, it provides materials scientists, metallurgists, and alloy designers with a powerful and intuitive environment to model complex multi-component systems, predict phase equilibria, simulate materials processes, and design new alloys entirely in the virtual space. By leveraging robust thermodynamic databases, Pandat 2024 enables the prediction of material behavior—such as phase fractions, transformation temperatures, and thermodynamic properties—as a function of composition, temperature, and pressure, which is foundational for advanced materials development and process optimization. Core Philosophy: Predicting Material Stability from Atomic Interactions The software’s power...

MICRESS 7.1: The Gold Standard in Predictive Microstructure Simulation MICRESS 7.1 (Microstructure Evolution Simulation Software) is the world’s premier, commercially supported phase-field simulation software dedicated to predicting the complex evolution of material microstructures. It provides materials scientists, metallurgists, and research engineers with a powerful computational tool to virtually “grow” and observe microstructures under defined thermal and chemical conditions. By solving the coupled partial differential equations for phase transformation, diffusion, and interface motion, MICRESS offers unprecedented insight into processes like solidification, solid-state phase transformations, grain growth, and precipitation—bridging the gap between atomic-scale mechanisms and macroscopic material properties. Core Philosophy: From Processing to Properties via Virtual Microstructures The core value of MICRESS lies in its ability to predict the final microstructure (grain...
