Fitting Types, Options, and Methods

Fitting Type: Allows strain or phase fraction formed to be used as the fitting criteria. Generally, Strain is used for dilatometry data and Phase is used for simulated phase data from a 3rd party software.

Phase Options: Allows for the fitting of individual phases or a combination of phases (e.g., if continuous cooling dilatometry is performed).

Fitting Method: A number of fitting methods are available, depending on the type of data being fit. Each Fitting Method has corresponding Curve Fitting Method options depending on the algorithm used for fitting.
