B. Time Stepping
When p
performing
g a thermal transient analysis,
y , a time integration

procedure is used to obtain solutions to the system equations at
discrete points in time. The change in time between solutions is
called the integration time step (ITS).
T

tn+1
tn+2
Generally, the smaller the ITS, the more accurate the solution
becomes.
