🏗️ ThermoDB Build APIs

This page focuses on high-level builders in pyThermoDB.thermodb.

🧰 Main Build Functions

• build_component_thermodb(...)
• build_components_thermodb(...)
• build_component_thermodb_from_reference(...)
• check_and_build_component_thermodb(...)
• check_and_build_components_thermodb(...)
• build_mixture_thermodb_from_reference(...)
• check_and_build_mixture_thermodb(...)
• build_constant_thermodb(...)
• check_and_build_constant_thermodb(...)
• build_constants_thermodb_from_reference(...)

🧪 Typical Single-Component Build

import pyThermoDB as ptdb

reference_config = {
    "general": {"databook": "CUSTOM-REF-1", "table": "General-Data"},
    "vapor-pressure": {"databook": "CUSTOM-REF-1", "table": "Vapor-Pressure"},
}

thermodb = ptdb.build_component_thermodb(
    component_name="carbon dioxide",
    reference_config=reference_config,
    component_key="Name",
    thermodb_name="CO2_thermodb"
)
print(thermodb.check())

📦 Structured Return Models

The module exposes pydantic wrappers for build results:

• ComponentThermoDB
• MixtureThermoDB
• ConstantsThermoDB

Use these when you need metadata plus the built CompBuilder object.
