Thermal Analysis
To run the model, from a command line run:
$ pan -b symmetry_thermal
The -b option runs the solver in background mode, which automatically overwrites any previous results, and directs output to a an output file of the format input-file-name.out.
The analysis progress is written on file symmetry_thermal.out. To check progress in a linux environment run:
$ tail symmetry_thermal.out
To check progress in a Windows command line environment run:
$ type symmetry_thermal.out
After the analysis completes, the last few lines of the output file symmetry_thermal.out should be similar to the following:

Actual CPU times will differ from system to system.
Quasi-Static Mechanical Analysis
Run the analysis from the command line:
$ pan -b symmetry_mechanical
The analysis progress is written on file symmetry_mechanical.out. To check progress run:
$ tail symmetry mechanical.out
or in Windows:
$ type symmetry mechanical.out
After the analysis completes, the last few lines of the output file symmetry_mechanical.out should be similar to the following:
