Thermal analysis
From a command line run
$ pan -b 04_thermal
The analysis progress is written to file 04_thermal.out. To check progress on Linux, run
$ tail 04_thermal.out
or in Windows run
$ type 04_thermal.out
After the analysis completes, the last few lines of the output file 04_thermal.out should be similar to the following:

Actual CPU times will differ.
Results can be imported and viewed in Simulation Utility for Netfabb or ParaView. The results at three different time steps: beginning, middle, and end of the simulation, are shown in Figure 1.
