Getting Started

A brief introduction to Grøft Design^®:

Steady state simulation

Simulation with steady state

Input Values for Steady State

There are two ways to perform a steady state simulation, either enter the desired current and let the simulation calculate the temperature, or enter the temperature and let the simulation find the current.

Adding a current

Adding a temperature, using “Goal seak”
