SVHeat 3D represents the ultimate in the 3D modeling of saturated and unsaturated heat transfer. Our simple CAD-style input module allows for creation of your model as a series of surfaces and layers.

Once the model is input our powerful finite element solver will take over. Mesh generation and refinement is fully automatic allowing you to focus on the solution and not on convergence problems. Geothermal gradients as well as the movement of freezing fronts may all be modeled.

Visualize the results of your analysis as contour plots of pressure or head as 2D slices through your problem. Move up to our visualization module for advanced plots including pathlines, transparency, cut-aways, isosurfaces, and animation.
