Finite element analysis of 2D heat transfer problems. This is a new version to previous solver

2D Heat Transfer Solver

Welcome to the 2D Heat Transfer Solver, a powerful tool for finite element analysis of steady-state 2D heat transfer problems. This software is designed to handle scenarios where temperature differences exist within a body or between a body and its surrounding medium. It proficiently solves conduction and convection problems, providing valuable insights into heat distribution.

Features

• Solve steady-state 2D heat transfer problems.
• Conduction and convection problems are addressed.
• Utilizes the heat diffusion equation, a special case of the partial differential equation of the Helmholtz equation.

User Interface

Take advantage of the following GUI functions to enhance your experience:

• Pan: Hold Ctrl and right-click drag.
• Zoom In/Out: Hold Ctrl and scroll.
• Zoom Fit: Press Ctrl + F.
• Selection: Hold Shift and left drag to select items.
• Deselection: Hold Shift and right drag to deselect items.

Additionally, OpenGL is incorporated for efficient and faster rendering.

How to Use

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Open the solution in your preferred C# development environment.
3. Build and run the application.
