Finite Element Heat Transfer

 

Finite Element Analysis Program

FEHT provides an environment for solving complex two-dimensional problems in heat transfer, electric currents, electrostatics, magnetostatics, potential flow, and bio-heat transfer using finite element techniques. The program provides an intuitive graphical interface for problem definition and output which a novice can quickly master. FEHT is designed for both instruction and the practicing engineer.

Features

  • Operates on all Macintosh computers
  • Supports color and math-coprocessor
  • MacDraw(tm) - type graphical problem definition
  • Zoom and drawing template import features
  • Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates
  • English and SI units
  • Steady-state and transient problems
  • Triangular finite elements
  • Automatic mesh reduction
  • Time-dependent boundary conditions
  • Potential (e.g., temperature) dependent BC's
  • Time, potential and position dependent properties
  • Graphical output (e.g., contours, flux, flow)
  • Numerical output option
  • Up to 1500 nodes
  • Extremely fast execution
  • Presentation-quality output
