Open Calphad

OpenCalphad is an informal international collaboration of scientists and researchers interested in the development of high quality software and databases for thermodynamic calculations for all kinds of applications. 

The intention is to allow interested scientists to develop more fundamental models to incorporate results from DFT calculations as well as to provide scientists interested in materials simulations a flexible and reliable software using consistent thermodynamic databases. 

An additional intention is to initiate work on a new set of databases with models that will give a continuous description of the pure elements from 0 K up to high temperatures and pressures, avoiding awkward breakpoints at real or fictitious transformation temperatures.
