Finite Element Heat Transfer (FEHT) 7.1

Finite Element Heat Transfer (FEHT) is a specialized analysis tool for simulating heat conduction and heat flow in solids using the finite element method. It helps engineers, researchers, and students build models, assign material properties, define boundary conditions, and compute temperature fields and heat flux under steady or time-varying conditions. Results are visualized with clear plots and charts to support design decisions and reporting.

Key capabilities:

• Finite element solver for 2D heat conduction problems
• Steady-state and transient analyses
• Supports temperature-dependent properties, internal heat generation, and layered materials
• Common boundary conditions: prescribed temperature, heat flux, convection, and radiation
• Mesh creation with options for local refinement in high-gradient regions
• Post-processing with temperature contours, isotherms, heat-flux vectors, and probe points/time histories
• Tools for parametric studies and design comparisons
• Exportable figures and data for documentation or further analysis

Typical applications:

• Electronics cooling and thermal management
• Component and tooling temperature distributions
• Heat exchanger and insulation assessments
• Thermal performance of materials and assemblies
• Educational use for teaching heat transfer and numerical methods

FEHT streamlines setup, solution, and interpretation, making it a practical choice for analyzing conductive heat transfer with finite element techniques.
