The MATLIB.DAT file

The material database is in the file MATLIB.DAT, located in the installation directory of the T3Ster software. It is a pure ASCII file designed to be handled only by the programs. The file format is compatible of the materials data base format of the THERMAN and SUNRED thermal simulators of MicReD. The @f and @b sequences are handled by these programs. After the heading and an empty line material data follow. Each material line contains the @f control sequence, the name of the material, the thermal conductivity and the thermal capacitance of the material. Commas separate the data fields; their position is strictly defined. This file is supposed to be used by programs, the file format is not designed for humans to handle.
