Running Netfabb Simulation

Thermal Analysis

Run the analysis from the command line:

$ pan -b DEDComp_thermal

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

Increment end
CPU wall for increment 1115 = 00:00:00.03, since start = 00:02:53.95
Layer end
Finished writing file . DEDComp thermal.case
