TEXT(decay of temp. profile in metal slab
DISPLAY
In-Form is used to set an initial sinusoidal temperature
in an insulated slab of aluminium.
The temperature distribution flattens with time, retaining
however its sinusoidal shape, as is made evident by the
line-printer plots elicited by PATCH(PLOT,PROFIL,,,,,
Setting IDISPA=20 causes a parphi file to be created, with
20 time intervals, enabling the temperature variation to be
viewed via PHOTON.
