A generalized heat conduction code, GHT, has been anitten as an IBM-704 code. This code solves steadystate and/or transient heat conduction problems in three-dimensional geometry. The method used in GHT is numerical integration of the appropriate fixitedifference equations. Boundary temperatures and heat generation may be a function of position and/or time. Material properties and film coefficients may be considered as a function of position but are assumed constant with respect to temperature and time. The number of nodal points is limited to 950, which includes internal and boundary points. All boundary points, however, which have the same temperature-time relationship may be considered as one point. The number of neighbors which may affect a given point must be equal to or less than 8. One less tape unit (reserved for input data) is required if all input is from cards. Use of GHT is illustrated by means of a sample problem. (auth)
