Observations
The whole analysis involved 100 time steps of 1 s each with about 2 iterations
in each step. The total CPU time taken in execution was 81.5 sec. The data
preparation might have taken another 10 min. and object and mesh generation another
15 min in ‘gmsh’. Of course, this assumes complete familiarity with the GUI of the

which is the case with any software. The software provides good users’ and
programmers’ (models) manual.
Modelling of line, point or volumetric heat source is possible as thin rectangle,
very small circle and half ellipsoid respectively.
