Book excerpt: Feat3d (finite element analysis of temperatures in three dimensions) is a computer program developed to predict the steady state temperature distribution in a general three-dimensional heat conducting system. it employs the finite element solution technique for the linear heat conduction problems. the numerical formulation handles nonhomogeneities caused by space dependence of thermal conductivity and internal heat generation in the system, as well as varying conditions along the system's boundary. at present, temperature independent conductivity, internal heat generation, heat fluxes through the system's boundary and heat transfer coefficients are allowed. they render a linear system of equations expressing the condition of thermal equilibrium of the system under consideration. this report describes the theory underlying the problem formulation and solution method, together with some implementation details. a separate report contains user instructions, as well as examples illustrating input preparation and output interpretation.
