I discovered this recently and thought I’d share…

If you just want to run theriak along a non-linear path in P-T space, you can make a loop file that includes many PT points rather than specifying start and end points and a number of steps between those points. The default step size is 1 unless you specify otherwise. Here are some examples of loop files that run in TD:

File 1 As described in the guide, this has a staring point, an ending point, and 5 steps from start to end.

REMOVE  GARNET  100
TP  555  5390
TP  556  5395  5

File 2 Or you can add points and specify steps between those points.

REMOVE  GARNET  100
TP  555  5390
TP  556  5395  5
TP  557  5400  5
TP  558  5405  5
TP  559  5410  5

File 3 Or just put a series of PT points in without steps between

REMOVE  GARNET  100
TP  555  5390
TP  556  5395
TP  557  5400
TP  558  5405
TP  559  5410

And if I wanted to remove certain phases from a ‘.’ calculation type in domino, should I edit the THERIN file or the database ?

If you mean you want to exclude one phase from ‘.’ calculation, you can just find the phase in the database and disable it. If it’s a solution phase, turn the ‘MINERAL DATA’, ‘SOLUTION DATA’, and ‘MARGULES PARAMETER’ into ‘MuNERAL DATA’, ‘SuLUTION DATA’, and ‘MuRGULES PARAMETER’, respectively (or just use ‘!’ before lines of the end-member or even the whole phase). If it’s a pure phase, simply type ‘!’ before every lines of the phase.

Cheers,
