PLEASE NOTE: There is a complete installer available if you do not have CVI installed. If you do have it, you can simply download the source files and run them.

The following program was built as a final evaluation project for Programming for Mechatronics Course for my BSc. in Mechanical Engineering. This solver is based around the Gauss-Seidel algorithm for 2D heat transfer for pre-determined boundary conditions (i.e. user defined temperatures). I hope this project will be useful for illustrating this type of 2D heat transfer problems. This project uses jpeg2pdf open source converter by Dmitry Markin and Haohu (hosted on SourceForge as well).

Features

  • Made using LabWindows/CVI
  • Utilization of Gauss-Seidel algorithm for 2D heat transfer using .C
  • Comparison of up to 4 elements on a graph
  • Two types of stop conditions - max iterations and delta between current and last temparture
  • Canvas and boundary color mapping in accordance to temperature
  • Compare up to 4 elements via graph (plot temperature as a function of iterations)
  • CSV file generation (for graph arrays)
  • PDF report generation using open source jpeg2pdf command line tool
  • Multiple element sizes to choose from (100x100 pixels to 10x10)
  • Code dynamically adjusts canvas position to the elements grid
  • Custom program icon
  • Demo video (in Hebrew)
  • Help file (in Hebrew)
