Welcome to the Open Calphad (OC) wiki! This is an attempt to create an open souce thermodynamic software aimed at applications in materials science.

Computational Thermodynamcs (CT) is an important link between more basic materials science like Density Functional Theory (DFT) and simulations of phase transformations like Phase Field (PF) providing information of the set of stable phases, chemical potentials, heat capacities etc.

There is a first version available at http://opencalphad.com for multicomponent single equilibrium calculations using the Compound Energy Formalism (CEF) and an application software interface.

The second version is under development and include the ionic two-sublattice liquid model and also facilties to calculate and plot (using GNUPLOT) property and phase diagrams. The application software interface has been extended including examples how to use it from C++.

Contributions are welcome as well as feedback with problems using the current versions.
