Running Local Simulation

Thermal analysis

To run the thermal model without powder, from a command line run

$ pan -b t0

The analysis progress is written to file t0.out. To check progress run

$ tail t0.out

After the analysis completes, the last few lines of the output file t0.out should be similar to the following:

Starting auxspar
Number of no zeros symmetric = 256947
Sparse preprocessing complete
Physical memory usage = 47 %
Used by this process = 209666048 B
inc = 35 time = 12806.957 iter = 1 eps = 0.59840E+02

inc = 35 time = 12806.957 iter = 3 eps = 0.28392E-12
Increment end
inc = 36 time = 13806.957 iter = 1 eps = 0.25610E+02
inc = 36 time = 13806.957 iter = 2 eps = 0.87286E-13
Increment end
inc = 37 time = 13809.181 iter = 1 eps = 0.17583E+00

Increment end

Actual CPU times will differ.

To run the thermal model with powder, from a command line run

$ pan -b t1

The analysis progress is written to file t1.out. To check progress run

$ tail t1.out

After the analysis completes, the last few lines of the output file t1.out should be similar to the following:

Starting auxspar

Quasi-static mechanical analysis

Run the mechanical analysis without powder from the command line:

$ pan -b m0

After the analysis completes, the last few lines of the output file m0.out should be similar to

the following:

Support structure removal time increment
inc = 39 time = 16809.181 iter = 1 eps = 0.21223E+03
inc = 39 time = 16809.181 iter = 2 eps = 0.21228E-09
-------------------------------
*** WARNING: 20

Each of the warnings notes a support structure element failure.

Now run the mechanical analysis with powder from the command line:

$ pan -b m1

After the analysis completes, the last few lines of the output file m1.out should be similar to the following:
