Thermal Bending System ABB

Specifications Sheet

1. Overview

This document is a compendium of different methods of specifying some of the implementation details of the Thermal Bending Analysis System.

Details such as what the fundamental analysis model is, where it come from, and what assumptions it makes are available by either clicking the image above, or by clicking here.

2. Documentation

Documentation consists of a constraint schematic which graphically depicts the relations among the variables in the ABB, and a Smalltalk like textual description which verbally describes the same relations. Essentially these are different views of the same information. Also available is an Express Schematic.
