Running the simulation

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:

inc = 30 time = 53011.929 iter = 1 eps = 0.14640E+04
inc = 30 time = 53011.929 iter = 2 eps = 0.16577E-11
