Running Netfabb Simulation

Thermal Analysis

To run the model, from a command line run

$ pan -b CanonOnCylinder1_thermal

The analysis progress is written to file CanonOnCylinder1_thermal.out. To check progress, run

$ tail CanonOnCylinder1_thermal.out

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

 inc =      44 time =    14849.417     iter =    1 eps =   0.38343E+00

Quasi-static Mechanical Analysis

Run the mechanical analysis from the command line:

$ pan -b CanonOnCylinder1_mechanical

After the analysis completes, the last few lines of the output file CanonOnCylinder1_mech.out should be similar to the following:
