DrawThermalPlugIn:

Path: Thermal/ThermalGraphics

% Draw a thermal diagram.
 Shows each node and a line where there is conductivity or
 radiative heat transfer between nodes. 
 First you initialize the routine

   tag = DrawThermalPlugIn( 'initialize',g  )

 where g is a CAD model with the added field 
 thermalNet which is struct with fields, b, the input matrix,
 k, the thermal conductivity matrix, and l, the radiative coupling
 matrix. Each matrix is n-by-n where n is the number of components.

 To update write

   DrawThermalPlugIn( 'update', tag, t )

 where t(k) is the temperature of component k.

 Each node is colored based on the temperature. You can set the maximum
 temperature by writing

   DrawThermalPlugIn( 'set max temp', tag, tMax )

 Has a built-in demo using ThermalCube.mat
