Options

This volume contains descriptions of the optional facilities that can be added to the basic version of 3DEC.

Section 1 describes the thermal model option and presents several verification problems that illustrate its application with and without interaction with mechanical stress.

Section 2 describes the dynamic analysis option. Special considerations for running a dynamic analysis are provided and several verification examples are included.

Section 3 describes the C++ Plugin option.
