A cover for removable attachment to a vehicle seat includes a first portion formed of a first material. The first portion is configured to be placed on an area of the seat corresponding to a ventilation area of the seat. The first material comprises a mesh fabric defining openings for allowing air to pass through the first portion. The first material also includes a silicone coating to impede the flow of liquid through the first portion. A second portion of the cover is formed of a second material that is different from the first material. The second portion is joined to an edge of the first portion and is configured for covering a lateral portion of the seat. The cover also includes an attachment mechanism for removably attaching the cover to the seat.

An optimization wizard substantially automates the task of calculating thermal deflection analysis of a part. The optimization wizard requests a user to provide a mesh model representing the part and provide part definitions, such as the part's stiffness, expansion coefficient, etc. In addition, the wizard requests the user to provide boundary conditions by modifying normality of any elements in the mesh model and by fixing conditions of one or more nodes in all direction or in a one sliding direction. An initial and a final temperature may also be provided by the user. The optimization wizard receives the user inputs and generates an executable file describing the relationships and effects each input has on the part's deflection under the provided thermal conditions. The executable file is provided to a solver to determine the part's thermal deflection under the provided conditions.
