.. index:: Thermo-Calc .. _Thermo-Calc: Thermo-Calc =========== Description ----------- Thermo-Calc is a package for performing various thermodynamic calculations. User instructions ----------------- Thermo-Calc is available via the modules system. To add it to your environment run: .. code-block:: bash $ module load thermo-calc/4.1 The main program can be launched by running ``Thermo-Calc.sh``. Source ------ http://thermocalc.com License ------- Proprietary Admin notes ----------- Theresa Davey purchased a network license (99-seats, available to Materials Dept.) and provided the install program. The instal media is a static executable. Thermo-Calc is installed by running it on the NFS server. Despite the documentation, X is not required---it has a text interface. It is best to select a custom install, as it allows one to have more control over the process and to set the install location. Thermo-Calc is placed (entirely) in the install location, so I instead created the directory structure:: thermo-calc/ thermo-calc-4.1/ bin/ Thermo-Calc.sh pkg/ where ``pkg`` contains the Thermo-Calc installation. ``bin/Thermo-Calc.sh`` is a simple script which executes the installed script of the same name: .. code-block:: bash #!/bin/bash cd $TC41_HOME && ./$(basename $0) ICT host the license server (iclic17.cc.ic.ac.uk). I found I needed to set the LSHOST environment variable in the module file, along with despite specifying the license server during the install process. Note that the TC41_HOME environment variable must also be set to ``/path/to/thermo-calc/thermo-calc-4.1/pkg``.
