Thermal simulation with Sinda in Patran

Hello,

I'm preforming some simulations in Sinda, and when I try to initiate the simulation this stay sucked and don't start. With tutorial works fine, but when I try to do in a simple electronic box doesn't work.

I only have 15 tokens and Patran uses 13. Is related with that? Like Nastran I can generate the SIN file and preform after?

OK, then the clues are in the Patran session file for the workshop: these lines:

utl_process_spawn( "pat2sdb qt19_pcb_forced.db qt19_pcb_forced.h5", TRUE )

db_start_transaction_raw( )

$# Translating,Converting and Runing Sinda...

utl_process_spawn( "sinda_translator.bat qt19_pcb_forced nrf "" "" sglitedp -b", TRUE )

$# Translating, Converting and Running Sinda Complete

Exit Patran. From a command window change directory(cd) to where the Patran db is then run the command:

pat2sdb your_database_name.db name_of_analysis_file.h5

the db name(xxx.db) is the one you created and the analysis file or job name is one you choose (xxx.h5)

then run the next command:

sinda_translator.bat name_of_analysis_file nrf "" "" sglitedp -b

this will give warning about the ini file not existing but it will generate the sinda input name_of_analysis_file.sin

then you can run the command sgdb to load the sinda dashboard and from there "Load Sinda Model" and then setup the rest of the run parameters and run sinda (in this process it will write an ini file for the job).
