Getting Started with TC-Python

"Correction: 16:06 This label should say Mole % instead of Weight %" Learn how to use TC-Python, the Python™ language-based SDK available with Thermo-Calc that allows users to openly couple Thermo-Calc calculations with other software. This video walks you step-by-step through how to set up a basic calculation, how to add a "for loop" and how to use the examples that are included with all TC-Python installations. This video also shows you where to find valuable resources to learn more about Python. TC-Python is built in the popular language Python™ to give Thermo-Calc users access to many other programs, such as numerical packages like NumPy and SciPy, which can now be used in combination with our calculations. It is truly a tool for Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME).
