Thermal bridges analysis: is possible? was created by Riccardo
Hi!

I'm an architect involved in low energy buildings from Italy and I would like to make some thermal analysis: searching from Open Source tools I found CaeLinux, a very interesting project.

One software that is used to make 2d thermal analysis is Therm:
windows.lbl.gov/software/therm/therm.html

Can you suggest me a way to make thermal analysis in 3d (in particular thermal bridges)?
My job tools are Debian and Blender...

Thank you!
Rickyx

ps. reading other thread I saw that has been suggested Code-Aster.

Elmer could be used for solid thermics, code_aster as well. Syrthes too.

For convection you could use code_saturne, a combination of cs and syrthes.

I don't know OpenFOAM, but it could be used for convection too i suppose :)

thank you Claws!

Code Saturn has got a gui! Nice!

Elmer for sure will solve this problem... ( www.csc.fi/english/pages/elmer/examples/heat_transfer/cooler )

I know zero about it so I'll invest quite a lot of time studying!

Nice day,
Rickyx

Yeah, you wont be bored anytime soon with these codes :)

I just want to correct my first post: When I said 'convection' I meant convection-driven flow, since of course you can prescribe convection as a boundary in elmer, CA and syrthes.

Syrthes also does radiation, I forget if and how well the others do that + Syrthes is fast.
