MatCalc is a software package that has much to offer. Still, some knowledge is needed if the user wants to use its full potential.
We offer training courses for anybody interested in using the software MatCalc. Regardless of your knowledge on the precipitation and microstructure evolution processes, we will show you how to setup, perform and interpret the simulations and get the maximum information out of it.
Regular basic and advanced courses
We conduct an introductory training course every summer (usually in the first half of August), as well as a workshop for the advanced users (usually in the first half of December). Click here for announced courses.
Basic course contents (22 full hours):
- Introduction in MatCalc: GUI and first steps
- Theory: thermodynamic equilibrium, driving forces, databases, ...
- Practical training: How to create a workspace, simple equilibrium calculations, stepped calculations ...
- Practical training: Graphical representation of results, data export, ...
