Running Netfabb Simulation

Thermal Analysis

To run the model, from a command line run

$ pan -b 6axis_thermal

After the analysis completes, the last few lines of the output file 6Axis_thermal.out should be similar to the following:

Increment end

Mechanical Analysis

Run the analysis from the command line:

$ pan -b 6axis_mechanical
