TC_Comb updated
TC_Comb program has been updated to 1.1.0.5:
- A sad bug causing hanging of AX_2.exe at repeated calculation of activities (for updated PT conditions) has been fixed. This bug has been revealed on new versions of Windows only.
- Another problem is the error message while launching Thermocalc from TC_Comb on Windows 10 (64-bit). The solution is the running of TC_Comb and/or Thermocalc in compatibility mode: right-click on an exe-file in and select "Properties", then select the "Compatibility" tab, check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows 8 or 7 from the drop-down list.
- A new experimental option "No avPT" has been added under the table with results of calculations. Checking of this option suppresses avPT mode of Thermocalc at re-calculation of results and performs simple geometric analysis in the way similar to INTERSX program of the TWQ package (but not the same): TC_Comb calculates so-called "simple averages" and some measure of scatter of reaction curves (RMSD or RMSWD, depending on state of the "Settings" window → "Reactions" tab → "Weighted Simple Averages" checkbox). PAvg and TAvg values are placed to the "P" and "T" columns of the table and RMS(W)D values – to the "fit" column. In the most cases, these "simple averages" should not be used as replacements of avPT results; however, you can use them in the case of only two linearly independent reactions (when avPT is not applicable). A more detailed description of "simple averages" will be published in the nearest future.
