Rcrust

Rcrust is a free software tool that performs phase stability calculations with path dependence. In these calculations pressure (P) temperature (T) and bulk composition (X) can vary simultaneously.

How it works?
Rcrust is a thermodynamic modelling tool that uses a compiled form of "meemum" from the Perple_X suite of programs to calculate the phase stabilities of points in P-T-X space. The strength of "Rcrust" is that it allows dependence relations to be defined between points so that the composition of the reactive system can change for example by phase additions or extractions. This automated handling of compositional change allows multiple new applications for phase equilibria modelling
