About the Diffusion Module (DICTRA)
The Diffusion Module (DICTRA) is an Add-on Module to Thermo-Calc that makes modeling multicomponent diffusion-controlled transformations simple and accessible. The Diffusion Module (DICTRA) is based on the numerical solution of the multicomponent diffusion equations and the CALPHAD approach.

Diffusion Module (DICTRA) Training
The Diffusion Module (DICTRA) Training is designed for beginners as well as current DICTRA users. This hands-on course focuses on using the graphical mode of DICTRA to solve engineering problems related to diffusion in multicomponent systems and diffusional phase transformations. Participants will explore multicomponent diffusion theory, mobility databases, and practical applications through interactive exercises and Q&A sessions.
We schedule courses two to three times per year, check out the course pages to see if we currently have courses scheduled.
