Using the pan executable to perform thermal and mechanical simulation on the MSMA example files
Running the thermal simulation
Run the analysis from the command line:
$ pan -b ded-thermal
After the analysis completes, the last few lines of the output file ded-thermal.out should be similar to the following:

Running the mechanical simulation
Run the analysis from the command line:
$ pan -b ded-mechanical
After the analysis completes, the last few lines of the output file ded-mechanical.out should be similar to the following:
