SVHeat 1D allows vertical or horizontal heat flow models to be solved quickly and efficiently. 1D models can be created based on slices through 2D models which makes model creation quick and simple.

Boundary conditions may be specified as constant or free-form equations of temperature or gradients. Detailed climatic boundary conditions may also be specified.

The finite element solution makes use of fully automatic mesh generation and mesh refinement to solve the problem quickly as well as indicating zones of critical gradient.
