Contains general thermal and flow solver related documentation, such as the verification test cases, monthly critical fixes, DMP guide, and knowledge base articles.
TMG Executive Menu
TMG Executive Menu is a standalone application that lets you execute processes on thermal-flow files and solutions independently of Simcenter 3D or Simcenter Femap.
TMG Executive Menu process descriptions
The tables on following pages list all available TMG Executive Menu processes, their corresponding command prompt switch, and their description.
Translation processes
The following table lists all processes that translate thermal-flow input or run-time files to or from other formats, their corresponding command prompt switch, and their description. These processes are listed in MAYA HTT TMG Executive when you select Translation from the Process Filter list.

Thermal-Flow
Contains general thermal and flow solver related documentation, such as the verification test cases, monthly critical fixes, DMP guide, and knowledge base articles.
- TMG thermal-flow solvers
  Maya HTT develops and maintains a thermal solver and a flow solver, which are combined into the TMG thermal-flow solvers. These solvers are included and distributed with Simcenter 3D, NX, and Simcenter Femap. Older versions of TMG thermal-flow solvers are also included in NX I-deas.
- Thermal and flow verification test cases
  Contains verification test cases for the thermal and flow solvers.
- Monthly critical fixes
  Lists critical bugs that are fixed monthly for the thermal and flow solvers.
- TMG Executive Menu
  TMG Executive Menu is a standalone application that lets you execute processes on thermal-flow files and solutions independently of Simcenter 3D or Simcenter Femap.
  - Start TMG Executive Menu
    This example shows how to start TMG Executive Menu to open the MAYA HTT TMG Executive dialog box.
  - Solve a solution from the command prompt
    This example shows how to solve a Simcenter 3D solution from the command prompt instead of starting the TMG Executive Menu user interface.
  - Run solutions from the user interface
    This example shows how to solve multiple thermal and flow solutions from XML input files in batch mode from the TMG Executive Menu user interface.
  - Run solutions using a BAT file
    Depending on the command switch you use, you can launch batch runs using the Windows cmd command. The following page presents sample code examples and explanations.
  - TMG Executive Menu process descriptions
    The tables on following pages list all available TMG Executive Menu processes, their corresponding command prompt switch, and their description.
    - Solve processes
      The following table lists all processes that solve different thermal-flow input files, their corresponding command prompt switch, and their description. These processes are listed in MAYA HTT TMG Executive when you select Solve from the Process Filter list.
    - Translation processes
      The following table lists all processes that translate thermal-flow input or run-time files to or from other formats, their corresponding command prompt switch, and their description. These processes are listed in MAYA HTT TMG Executive when you select Translation from the Process Filter list.
    - Results processes
      The following table lists all processes that manipulate thermal-flow result files, their corresponding command prompt switch, and their description. These processes are listed in MAYA HTT TMG Executive when you select Results from the Process Filter list.
    - File cleaning processes
      The following table lists all processes that remove unnecessary thermal-flow run-time files from the running folders, their corresponding command prompt switch, and their description. These processes are listed in MAYA HTT TMG Executive when you select File from the Process Filter list.
    - Other processes
      The following table lists all other processes, their corresponding command prompt switch, and their description. These processes are listed in MAYA HTT TMG Executive when you select Other from the Process Filter list.
    - Command prompt only processes
      The following table lists processes that are available only from the command prompt, their corresponding command prompt switch, and their description.
  - MAYA HTT TMG Executive dialog box
    The MAYA HTT TMG Executive dialog box opens when you start the TMG Executive Menu application with the UI command prompt switch.
- Thermal and flow DMP guide
  Describes the general workflow for executing the simulation jobs using distributed memory parallel processing on clusters and the scheduler-dependent files required to submit the jobs to the scheduler.
- Thermal-flow data exchange files
  The thermal and flow solvers in Simcenter 3D and Simcenter Femap create multiple thermal-flow data exchange files described on the following page.

Translation processes

The following table lists all processes that translate thermal-flow input or run-time files to or from other formats, their corresponding command prompt switch, and their description. These processes are listed in MAYA HTT TMG Executive when you select Translation from the Process Filter list.


Switch	Process name	Description
AS	Convert thermal binary files to ASCII	Translates thermal binary files MODLCF, MODLF, TEMPF, and VUFF into ASCII text. You must launch the TMG Executive Menu in the directory where the binary files are located. You can inspect the ASCII text files with any text editor.
SR	Translate SINDA to universal	Translates the temperature results from a SINDA model into the UNV format. The SINDA results must be in the TEMPF file, in the correct format. The solved SINDA model is created from Simcenter 3D Space Systems Thermal.
SU	Translate STEP-TAS to universal	Translates a STEP-TAS model into the UNV format.
US	Translate universal to STEP-TAS	Translates a UNV file into the STEP-TAS format.
UN	Convert results .bun file to universal file	Converts results *.bun file created by Simcenter 3D Thermal/Flow, Electronic Systems Cooling, Space Systems Thermal, Multiphysics, or Simcenter Femap TMG (11.4.2 or later) to NX I-deas universal file.
TP	Convert results .bun file to tecplot	Converts results *.bun file created by Simcenter 3D Thermal/Flow, Electronic Systems Cooling, Space Systems Thermal, Multiphysics, or Simcenter Femap TMG (11.4.2 or later) to a tecplot file.
CG	Convert results .bun file to CGNS	Converts results *.bun file created by Simcenter 3D Thermal/Flow, Electronic Systems Cooling, Space Systems Thermal, Multiphysics, or Simcenter Femap TMG (11.4.2 or later) to a CGNS file.
