BISCO

BISCO is a thermal analysis program for steady state heat transfer in two-dimensional objects consisting of different materials and submitted to different boundary conditions.

The geometry is defined by a colored picture in bitmap format. BISCO requires data input for the association of the bitmap colours with the physical properties of materials and boundary conditions.

BISCO calculates a triangulation for the material colours. The system nodes are located in the triangle vertices. The temperatures in the nodes are calculated, from which all heat flows can be derived.
