A novel boundary element method program for heat transfer analysis of composite materials

A boundary element method computer program developed for heat transfer analysis of two dimensional composite structures is described. The program runs on a time share mode and interacts with the user for multirun analysis. During a run, the geometry can be modified interactively by the user as many times as desired by using various options available and the new results printed or plotted. A concept of plotting the results for boundary element method is introduced. The advantage of such a program over the finite element method for simple design problems is demonstrated.
