Running Netfabb Simulation

Thermal analysis

To run the model, from a command line run:

$ pan -b t11

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

$ tail t11.out

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

inc = 38 time = 15831.914 iter = 1 eps = 0.45725E+02
inc = 38 time = 15831.914 iter = 2 eps = 0.14404E-12
