ChemApp and ChemSage/FactSage

The following are the main differences between ChemApp and ChemSage, as well as its successor FactSage ChemSage/FactSage are interactive, standalone programs. They do not need any other tools apart from thermochemical data-files or databases. They are the tools of choice for users who do not wish to do any programming work. Compared to ChemApp, ChemSage/FactSage have only limited support […]

With respect to the text below, note that FactSage is the successor of ChemSage. If you need an interactive, standalone program that can output results in the form of tables and graphs, and can automatically calculate phase diagrams, use ChemSage/FactSage. It is an everyday desktop tool that is easy to learn and does not require programming knowledge at

Yes, you can. See section 4.3 for details.

Yes, you can. See section 7.7 for details.

No, you can’t. You need to at least have FactSage V5.0 to be able to create thermochemical data-files for ChemApp

No, ChemApp need not and cannot directly access any FactSage database. Thermochemical data from FactSage databases is made available to ChemApp (and ChemSheet, for that matter; i.e. any software that internally contains ChemApp) via ChemSage-style data-files, which are user-defined subsets of the databases available for FactSage. See section 7.7 for more information. For general information on data-files,

No, no other software from us is required in order to run ChemApp. Many customers also use FactSage for instance, because they prefer to have an interactive program available too, but there is no technical reason why FactSage is required (see also section 5.2). Of course customers who also have FactSage (or ChemSage) benefit from the fact that
