Any idea if there is a freeware Heat transfer simulation software available? I am not sure if that is the correct name but I mean something that allows you to create an object from simple blocks and define parameters like thermal conductivity for them. Then place a heat source and see the temperature distribution graphically or by placing temperature probes. Will

Try: http://felt.sourceforge.net/ They have thermal examples. -- Bob Smither, PhD Circuit Concepts, Inc. ========================================================================= If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed. --Mark Twain ========================================================================= Smither@C-C-I.Com http://www.C-C-I.Com 281-331-2744(office) -4616(fax)
