TACO3D: A 3-dimensional finite-element heat-transfer code
Abstract
A finite element computer code for the solution of nonlinear, three dimensional heat-transfer problems is discussed. The theory on which the code is based is outlined and the numerical-solution procedures are explained. The features and capabilities of the code are described. Instructions to enable the user to construct a data-input file and execute the code are provided. And, finally, examples illustrating the use of the code are given.
