Running Netfabb Simulation

Thermal analysis

To run the t.in model, from a command line run:

$ pan -b t

The analysis progress is written to file t.out. To check progress on Linux, run:

$ tail t.out

or on Windows run

$ type t.out

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

 inc = 247 time = 60.000000 iter = 1 eps = 0.46496E-03
Finished writing file results\ t_247.case
Increment end
CPU wall for increment 247 = 00:00:00.10, since start = 00:04:32.81
Finished writing file .\ t.case
