Timelines

DRAFT DOCUMENTATION

The Timelines window displays synthetic temporal, time dependant results at selected Probe Points together with timelines of synthetic boundary conditions applied. The window is opened from the Boundary Conditions window.

TRANSIENT-option: Solving and evaluating time dependant dynamic, periodic problems when heat capacity effects are concerned is only possible with an active TRANSIENT-Option of the program.

The creation of resulting chart involves of following work items which, depending on the complexity of the model, might be time consuming (during the calculation a progress bar shows at the bottom edge of the window):

• Timelines of boundary conditions are created by harmonic Fourier synthesis based on effective number of harmonics specified in the Boundary Conditions window.
  For power sources a second vertical axis on the right side of the chart is displayed; this axis and curves showing the boundary conditions of power sources are display as dashed lines,
• Timelines of resulting values (temperatures) at selected Probe Points are generated by first computing synthetic distribution of results at specific time point for the whole model and then extracting the values at specified by spatial information.

Remark: Values are (re)computed for each time value corresponding to respective pixel or pixel pair position along the time axis. When the window is resized by increasing its width significantly (more then doubled) then the calculation is restarted.

MULTICORE-option: Speeding up computationally intensive jobs by distributing them on multiple processors or processor cores for parallel execution is only possible with an active MULTICORE-Option of the program.

The legend provides the identification of patterns shown. A double click on to the legend will change its position relative to the chart area (right, left, top, bottom).
