Reformulation tool finds, by means of an implemented calculation algorithm, the recipe that produces a specified oxides composition at minimum cost or other selected value. Enter the desired oxides composition, select the raw materials and/or frits that you want to allow into the recipe. Set the conditions to the recipe. Finally, launch the calculation process.
Reformulation window is structured in several pages. Each one manages one aspect of the reformulation process: calculation, materials selection, analysis of the recipe found ...
In the Formula page you enter and modify reformulation calculation input data and view the receipt obtained after executing the algorithm. Once a satisfactory solution receipt has been found it can be automatically transferred to a formula file. Also stored as a checkset for the Automatic Reformulation tool.
In the Materials Selection page you select the materials that will be allowed in the reformulation. Starting from the current work materials table list, some filters -raw materials or frits, frit type- can be applied in order to get a pre-selection list. From this list you can specify the materials that will make up the final selection.
Solution Formula Analysis page shows the last solution recipe found and its analysis in the oxides that took part in the reformulation. It also shows the contribution in oxides of each material.
