Running Netfabb Simulation

Thermal Analysis

To run the model, from a command line run

$ pan -b CanonOnCylinder1_thermal

The analysis progress is written to file CanonOnCylinder1_thermal.out. To check progress, run

$ tail CanonOnCylinder1_thermal.out

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

 inc = 44 time = 14849.417 iter = 1 eps = 0.38052E+00
 inc = 44 time = 14849.417 iter = 2 eps = 0.20398E-12

Quasi-static Mechanical Analysis

Run the mechanical analysis from the command line:

$ pan -b CanonOnCylinder1_mechanical
