Since then FactSage has expanded into a fully integrated thermochemical software and database package that is used worldwide at over 800 sites in universities, governmental and non-governmental research laboratories and industry. In 2001 there was a fusion between F*A*C*T / FACT-Win and ChemSage (formerly SOLGASMIX ) resulting in FactSage®. A principal activity of the CRCT was, and still remains, the promotion and development of the F*A*C*T thermochemical databases and software.ĭuring the 1990s F*A*C*T migrated to personal computers running in a Windows environment. In 1984 the CRCT – Centre for Research in Computational Thermochemistry/Centre de Recherche en Calcul Thermochimique – was founded at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Many of the features available in the full FactSage package have been removed or diluted.FactSage began in 1976 as F*A*C*T – Facility for the Analysis of Chemical Thermodynamics – a joint research project between McGill University and École Polytechnique de Montréal (Université de Montréal Campus).
The programs are offered for demonstration purposes only. The FACT-Web programs offer free but very limited interaction with FactSage: This service may be discontinued at any time without notice. For detailed information on the various databases see the Database Documentation Users have access to databases of thermodynamic data for thousands of compounds as well as to evaluated and optimized databases for hundreds of solutions of metals, liquid and solid oxide solutions, mattes, molten and solid salt solutions, aqueous solutions, etc. Some of the FactSage modules (Equilib, Phase Diagram, OptiSage) employ the Gibbs energy minimizer of ChemSage.
It consists of a series of modules that access and manipulate thermodynamic databases and perform various calculations.
FactSage is the fusion of two software packages in the field of computational thermochemistry: FACT-Win (formerly FACT) and ChemSage (formerly SOLGASMIX).
