TCNEQ Version
From PHASTA Wiki
Background
The following information relates to the use of the thermochemical nonequilibrium (TCNEQ) version of PHASTA written in terms of entropy variables. The reader is referred to the following for additional information.

Pre-Processing
Meshing
Within the Simmodeler utility, the mesh can either be created or loaded from an existing .cas file. Below are steps for loading a mesh from a .cas file:
- Launch Simmodeler (for this example, SimModeler7.0-190604 is used)
- File > Import Discrete Data > (select .cas file to import) > (keep defaults and click OK) > (select YES to keep volume mesh)
- Save .sms and .smd files
- Attributes can now be assigned to the model as normal
