Until now, thermal engineers had two choices in developing models. The text editor approach creates a SINDA file containing all of the information necessary for a simulation, but it is tedious and requires extremely precise formatting. Graphical modelers create realistic-looking models, but they can quickly become overly complex, making it difficult to verify the results on a low level.

Now, Network Analysis, Inc. has created two new tools to help you develop SINDA/G models using Microsoft Office. With these tools, you can create or modify SINDA/G models in a convenient, user-friendly environment. While not meant to replace existing methods of model creation, the SINDA/G Office Toolkit will allow the use of either Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Visio for SINDA/G development.

• Create hand models in a friendlier environment than a text editor
• Import nearly any existing SINDA/G file for modification and convenient display
• Export models as functional, properly formatted .SIN  files which can be run in SINDA/G
• View and Import results along with the nodes and  conductors they represent
• Use all of the built-in Excel functions to aid in model  creation
• Use all of the built-in Excel functions to aid in model creation

• Easily create schematic representations of  SINDA/G models
• Import existing .SIN and .DAT models for  clearer visualization of hand built models
• Export models to .SIN files that can be run in  SINDA/G
• View results data from steady-state and  transient routines on the actual schematic
• Color code a schematic’s nodes based on  results
• Modify models and compare changes between simulations
