LIM1TR (Lithium-Ion Modeling with 1-D Thermal Runaway) is an open-source code that uses the finite volume method to simulate heat transfer and chemical kinetics on a quasi 1-D domain. The target application of this software is to simulate thermal runaway in systems of lithium-ion batteries. The source code for LIM1TR can be found at https://github.com/ajkur/lim1tr. This user guide details the steps required to create and run simulations with LIM1TR starting with setting up the Python environment, generating an input file, and running a simulation. Additional details are provided on the output of LIM1TR as well as extending the code with custom reaction models. This user guide concludes with simple example analyses of common battery thermal runaway scenarios. The corresponding input files and processing scripts can be found in the “Examples” folder in the on-line repository, with select input files included in the appendix of this document.
