Thermo-Calc Live Online Training

Thermo-Calc Live Online Training

The Thermo-Calc live online training course is a beginner’s course that we hope will also be useful for those who already have a little experience with the software. The course only teaches the Graphical Mode of Thermo-Calc. It does not teach the console mode or any of the Add-on Modules. See additional courses. It is given over 3 half-days and may include a little bit of homework before each day.

The course requires no previous knowledge of Thermo-Calc. Some knowledge of thermodynamics of alloys and/or materials science is an advantage, but not a prerequisite.

Upcoming Courses

We currently have two sets of live online courses scheduled for Thermo-Calc. The two courses will take place during the same dates, but one will be with an instructor in Stockholm, Sweden, and the other with an instructor in Pittsburgh, USA. You are welcome to join whichever course takes place in a time zone that works best for you.

We schedule online courses two to three times per year, so check back if the dates below do not work for you.

  • 9 – 11 April 2024| Online, broadcast from Stockholm, Sweden (CEST Time Zone)
  • 9 – 11 April 2024| Online, broadcast from Pittsburgh, USA (EDT Time Zone)

The Thermo-Calc Course: Stockholm Broadcast

What You Will Learn

You will learn how to calculate and plot or tabulate stable and meta-stable phase equilibria, property diagrams, and phase diagrams of multicomponent alloys and much more using the latest version of Thermo-Calc. You will also learn how to effectively use Project files in order to perform, save, and share complex calculations.

There may be a very condensed theory section introducing thermodynamic databases and the CALPHAD methodology.

Good to Know

The training course is hands-on with each participant working at their own computer. Much of the presentations will be in the form of teacher-led exercises. The language is English. It is recommended that you use either two separate screens or one large screen in order to be able to follow the online teacher and operate the software at the same time.

There will be possible interaction from students to teachers throughout the training, mostly through a chat-function rather than spoken dialog. In addition to this, special Q-and-A sessions will be scheduled each day.

Download information for our software tools will be sent out the week before the training, together with the digital course material (handouts and project/macro files). You will also receive a temporary training license file for your own computer before training starts.
