• The total number of stored phase diagrams has been increased by approx. 200.

  

• New file naming convention

  In FactSage 8.0 the file naming convention PROG*.dat was replaced by a more versatile *.prog where prog is the 4-letter APP description, for example *.ehph, *.pred, *.reac, *.equi, *.phas and *.mixt.

  In a given folder both PROG*.dat and *.prog file names are permitted but the * must be unique. For example, only one of say EQUIMyCalc.dat and MyCalc.equi is permitted. This new naming convention has been well received and requires no modification.

  In FactSage 8.1 the new naming convention has been extended to ChemSage files where the name *.dat is replaced by the more useful *.chem. Both *.dat and *.chem ChemSage ascii files are permitted. Note the *.cst ChemSage transparent files remain unchanged.

• New [SHORT] and [LONG] summaries - 'Equiib > Reactants > ChemSage files > Summary of ChemSage files ...'

  The 'Summary of ChemSage files ...' now offers two options

  [SHORT] - the traditional brief summary of ChemSage files

  [LONG] - a new detailed summary of ChemSage files including the list of system components, the list of phases and the list of phase constituents of each mixture phase

  All the *.dat, *.chem and *.cst ChemSage files are stored in the \ChemSage subdirectory (ex: c:\FactSage81\ChemSage).

• What's New in View Data - 'View Data > Help > What's New in View Data ...'

  The link What's New in View Data has been updated and gives a summary of the more important programming changes in View Data that have appeared since FactSage 6.1 (2009) until now FactSage 8.1 (2021).

• Vitual Species - Qa, Qb, Qc ... Qz

  In FactSage 8.1 it is possible to create private databases containing "virtual elements" Qa, Qb, Qc ... Qz. These private databases may be accessed by View Data in the usual manner. The screenshot is a partial listing of virtual compounds stored in the VIRT database.

  
  

• What's New in Equilib - 'Equilib > Reactants Window > Help > What's New in Equilib ...'

  The link What's New in Equilib has been updated and gives a summary of the more important programming changes in Equilib that have appeared since FactSage 6.1 (2009) until now FactSage 8.1 (2021).

• Equilib STOP Window - 'Equilib > Parameters Window > Stop & Sound Window > yes'

  By pressing the 'STOP button' in the STOP Window you can terminate Equilib (and Phase Diagram) at any time. If the program gets hung up or refuses to quit, go to the FactSage Main Menu Window. At the top click 'Tools > Reset programs ...' and follow the instructions on how to 'kill' (terminate) the program. Typically the STOP Window is placed in the upper right corner of the screen. For some users this position may not be convenient.

  In FactSage 8.1

  - the STOP Window is now always kept on top - that is, it is no longer hidden by other Windows.
  To hide the STOP Window simply click its minimize button '-'.

  - it is possible to drag and drop the STOP Window to any position on the screen.
  This new position is then used the next time the STOP Window is displayed.

• Run Macro menu - 'Equilib > Reactants Window > Run Macro ...'

  'Run Macro' has been added to the Menu of the Equilib Reactants Window. This enables you to immediately rerun the last macro that was loaded.

  The 'Run Macro' menu button is equivalent to 'Equilib > Reactants Window > File > Macro Processing > Run macro ...'

  
  

• What's New in Macro Processing - 'Equilib > Reactants Window > File > Macro Processing > What's New in Macro Processing ...'

  
  MACRO_SHOW   [TOP BOTTOM LEFT RIGHT] 
      - show the macro window (also see MACRO_HIDE)
      - MACRO_SHOW TOP - place macro window at the top center
      - MACRO_SHOW BOTTOM RIGHT - place macro window at the bottom right corner. New in 8.1  
  
  SET PARAMETERS TIME_CALC_SECS_LIMIT  '0 - 86400'
      - stop the calculation after TIME_CALC_SECS_LIMIT exceeded
      - this redefines the 'time limit' posted in the STOP Window
  
  $SOLGAS - compilator and date ex: "Lahey_2020-12-18" "Intel_2020-12-18"
      - used by FactSage developers, new in 8.1
  
  Species: 
    - $E_s?*$ - product species * = 1 - 5000; ? = a, D, d, E, f, g, h, l, N, n, R, s, W, w, X ...
    - these values are only defined after the equilibrium has been calculated (CALC) i.e. $E_OK$ = 'OK' 
  
  $E_so*$ = species "o" flag in Equilib Results; assumed to have zero molar volume (1=True, 0=False)
  $E_sT*$ = species "T" flag in Equilib Results; data are extrapolated above maximum T limit (1=True, 0=False) 
  $E_sV*$ = species "V" flag in Equilib Results; modeled with an equation of state (1=True, 0=False)
  
  Examples of "o" "T" "V" flags are given in the updated EquiEx_List_Results.mac
  located in the Macros Folder.      
  
  Elements:  - atomic numbers expanded to 132 (was 99)
    - updated $ELEMENT_NAME('atomic number') $ELEMENT_NUMBER('name')  
    - new $ELEMENT_NAME-FULL('atomic number') $ELEMENT_NUMBER_MAX 
    for up to 132 elements including "virtual elements".
  
  Example is given in the new EquiEx_List_Elements.mac located in the Macros Folder.

• FTdemo is the name for the old FACT Slide Show database developed around 2001. Although FTdemo is part of FACT Package of Databases, it is for demonstration calculations only. It should be used only for teaching - for example with the Slide Shows.

• For calculations where the results are important, you must NOT use the FTdemo database. Use the FactPS compound database and the FToxid, FTsalt, etc. databases. For detailed information on the FactPS, FToxid, FTsalt, etc. databases go to the FactSage Main Menu and click on Documentation.

The FThall database contains the elements Al-Mg-Na-Li-Ca-F-O-C. It is used for thermodynamic and phase equilibrium calculations involving liquid metal - cryolitic bath - Al2O3-based oxides in alumina reduction electrolysis cells, and for molten aluminum treatment with fluoride fluxes.
• In FactSage 8.1 the thermal conductivity and the volumetric properties data have been updated for 4 liquid salt phases:

  LiF, NaF, MgF2, CaF2

• Note: in Equilib the thermal conductivity and the volumetric properties are only calculated if the "include molar volume data and physical property data" option in the Equilib Menu Window is checked.

FTlite is primarily designed for thermodynamic and phase equilibrium calculations involving Al alloys and Mg alloys. Calculations involving Ti alloys and Li-Na-K-Mg-Ca-Sr-Ba mixtures can also be performed but not to the extent as for Al- and Mg-alloys.

• Most Co-RE systems (except Pm, Eu, Tb, Yb and Lu) have been integrated into the FTlite database. These are useful for calculations involving magnets and the recycling of magnets.

The FToxid databases contain data for pure oxides and oxide solutions of over 20 elements as well as for dilute solutions of S, SO4, PO4, H2O/OH, CO3, F, Cl and I in the molten (slag) phase.

In FactSage 8.1 the updates to FToxid include the following changes.

• - new addition of V oxides to the slag (VO, V2O3, VO2, V2O5), several compounds and solid solutions: V-Na2O-CaO-MgO-Al2O3-FeO-Fe2O3-SiO2 system. The database allows calculations of vanadium distribution between slag and liquid alloy.
