Computational Materials Thermodynamics - Practical Session: Thermodynamic Modelling of Phase Equilibria, Prof. K.C. Hari Kumar (IIT Madras, India), Dr. Andrew Watson (Hampton Thermodynamics, UK)

Device 1: 

Demonstration

Device 2: 

Your own Calphad modelling using Pandat

Device 1: this can be any device (PC or mobile), but we advise that it be no smaller than 10"(250mm), for example an iPad or Android tablet. Here you will watch the step-by-step demonstration of the Calphad modelling given by the lecturer.

Device 2: a Windows PC or laptop, with Pandat software installed. (Download Pandat 2021 Education)

It is recommended that you Install Zoom App.

You will use this device for your own Calphad modelling in parallel with the demonstration running on Device 1. With Device 2, you should login into the parallel Zoom session 2, where you can request one-one assistance if required.

Zoom 1:

connect
to

“Demonstration”

Zoom 2:

connect from the Zoom client app
to

“Pandat Troubleshooting”

To prevent sound interference between the 2 sessions, it is recommended that you use a headset for one of the sessions, and microphone & loudspeakers in the other session, either internal or externally connected.

ASK QUESTIONS in ZOOM 1:

should you wish to ask the lecturer a question you can in Zoom 1:

a.    raise your hand - (the moderator will allow you to unmute in order to ask the question)

b.    type your question into the chat box - (moderator will read your question to the lecturer.) 

RAISE HAND in ZOOM 2:

If your question requires a more detailed answer or screen share, you will be asked to join a breakout room within ZOOM 2 (please do not break the connection in Zoom 1).

To type your question in the chat window in Zoom 1:

·  click Chat in the meeting controls.

·  This will open the chat window. You can type a message into the chat box.


To raise hand, click on „Reactions“ in the meeting controls:
