Description
MIXFRAC is a code for phase equilibrium calculations for igneous systems based on trace element constraints. With the subprograms MIX3 and BLF one can calculate major- and trace-element differentiation trends for crystallizing magmas. The programs have numerous options, including assimilation of a second material, assimilation of boundary layer material, and randomize the mixing and sampling parameters in order to create a more realistic synthetic data set.
