A new heat transfer simulation capability is described. Non-traditional features of this capability include: a seamless link to CAD-CAM for rapid problem specification/description, integrated automatic grid generator tools for rapid mesh generation, nonlinear and/or varying material properties, source-terms and boundary conditions, a one-element type approach for simplicity and efficiency, automatic self-adaptive mesh refinement and coarsening with accurate error estimation, heavy reliance on iterative solvers, and on-line display on workstations for immediate visualization and user feedback. These innovations are documented on several examples that demonstrate the usefulness of the developed capability.
