MSC.Software Data Sheet MSC Sinda Office Toolkit Filling the Gap Overview The text editor approach to developing thermal models 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. Engineers need an “in-between” product, and with MSC’s Office Toolkit, they have it. MSC Sinda Office Toolkit has two tools to help develop MSC Sinda models using Microsoft Office. With these tools, you can create or modify MSC Sinda models in a convenient, user-friendly environment. While not meant to replace existing methods of model creation, the MSC Sinda Office Toolkit will allow the use of either Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Visio for MSC Sinda thermal model development. Version 2.0 provides model units on all screens, material objects/library that nodes and conduc- tors can utilize and thermostatically controlled power with on/off, proportional and PID controllers. With the Visio Add-on You Can Easily • create schematic representations of MSC Sinda thermal models. Import • existing .SIN and .DAT models for clearer visualization of hand built models. Create • .SIN files that can be run in MSC Sinda. View • heat flows and temperature data from steady-state and transient routines on the actual schematic.

OverviewThe text editor approach to developing thermal models 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. Engineers need an “in-between” product, and with MSC’s Office Toolkit, they have it.
MSC Sinda Office Toolkit has two tools to help develop MSC Sinda models using Microsoft Office. With these tools, you can create or modify MSC Sinda models in a convenient, user-friendly environment. While not meant to replace existing methods of model creation, the MSC Sinda Office Toolkit will allow the use of either Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Visio for MSC Sinda thermal model development.
Version 2.0 provides model units on all screens, material objects/library that nodes and conduc-tors can utilize and thermostatically controlled power with on/off, proportional and PID controllers.
With the Visio Add-on You CanEasily• create schematic representations of MSC Sinda thermal models.
Import• existing .SIN and .DAT models for clearer visualization of hand built models.
Create• .SIN files that can be run in MSC Sinda.
View• heat flows and temperature data from steady-state and transient routines on the actual schematic.
Color code• the nodes based on temperatures.
Modify• models and compare changes between simulations.
