New Plot Variable
One new upgrade that may interest our more advanced users is the addition of the u-fraction plot variable to Thermo-Calc graphical mode. This plot variable is already available in the console mode.
Improved Plot Configuration
The plotting feature of Thermo-Calc is getting more user friendly in this release. Currently, when you plot something and then change some configuration without performing the plot again, the automatic update of the plot can result in a confusing plot that does not match the configuration.
In this release, you will be able to make all your changes and then hit ’perform’ again to get the new plot, eliminating these useless intermediate plots.
In order to avoid potential confusion, the system will note that your calculation and plot do not contain the same information while you are making your changes.
Time Saving Default Variables
The calculation step will also get more user friendly in this release. Each calculation type, including the new property grid, has been given a set of default variables that will automatically appear when you start your calculation and will reappear each time you start a new calculation type. The default variables that have been selected for each calculation type are intended to save you time and make the calculation process easier.
New Short Cuts in Console Mode
The console mode of Thermo-Calc is also getting some user friendly upgrades with the addition of new keyboard shortcuts and menu items for opening and closing new consoles and console result windows.
Detailed explanations of these and all the other upgrades will be provided with the software update this November.
