Empty .GES File?
Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2019 5:48 pm
Hello MICRESS forum users
maybe one of you also encounter a problem while creating a new *.GES5-file. Let me explain my problem and debugging approaches.
First things first I use Thermocalc 2019a and MICRESS v6.402 (Windows).
I want to re-create a .GES5 file, just like the TC2015a_ALCU, with the elements AL CU and the phases LIQ FCC_A1 ALCU_ETA in order to make sure that I know how to create a .GES5 file. I use the following commands derived from the MICRESS/Examples/HOWTO_FeCMn. As a first step I altered the HOWTO_FeCMn file, dragged & dropped it on Thermocalc2019 and I got the desired output of AlCu.GES5 file. However, I got an error messsage in MICRESS using the T002_AlCu_equiaxed_dri.txt example:
Therefore, I changed my approach and typed in everything by hand in the Thermocalc2019a commandline (see following description) to see if there are any error messages in Thermocalc2019a command line:
I did not get any error messages from the command line. To check if the .GES5-file I created is not empty I used the following commands - found in the forum:
The output I get is not empty and I got a long list with the involving constituents AL CU. I also loaded Examples/Training/GES_Files/TC2015a_AlCu and compared it to my AlCu: it looks the same. I conclude that my AlCu.GES5 file is not empty and should - in theory - work.
I want to know now what Thermo-Calc index the components and the phases have, so I can allocate them in the MICRESS driving-file. I used T002_AlCu_Equiaxed (as mentioned before which works with the TC2015a_ALCu) and now I change it to my newly created AlCu.GES5 file. I use the following command in the driving-file without the *.GES5 extension:
As an ouput in the log-file I get the same aforementioned message:
The number of components in the database does not equal to the given number. As far as I understood correctly I have a AlCu.GES-file with 1 dissolved constituens. Therfore, the number of components in the driving file matches the number of components in the GES-file.
I am stuck, now.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Constantin
