An alert box will appear if an error occurs.

The Buttons

Draw Diagram
Self-explanatory. Draws the diagram specified by the input parameters. You can either run a simulation or redefine the diagram.
Evolve
Run a simulation with the specified melt composition.
Pause
Temporarily halt the simulation so you can study what's going on. Also gives numerical values for liquid and solid components. Press "OK" to resume. You can move the alert box if it blocks your view.
Reset
Resets the simulation to the beginning using the same diagram. You can redefine the melt composition or rerun the simulation again using the same composition. You can also use this to abort the simulation.
Clear Canvas
Erase everything
What's Happening?
Pauses the simulation and shows a brief explanation of what's going on at that stage of the simulation. Press "OK" to resume. You can move the alert box if it blocks your view.
