Interfacing Two Finite Element Solvers for Adaptive Analysis of Heat Transfer

摘要

Interfacing of two finite element solvers is described in this paper. HERMES is anrnefficient tool for a hp-adpative finite element method while TRFEL is an extensiverntool for transport processes, such as heat and moisture transfer. Error estimators arernnot implemented in the TRFEL solver and this shortage can be removed by mergingrnit with the HERMES solver. Finite element meshes and approximation functions arernmanaged by the HERMES while constitutive relations are hidden in the TRFEL.
