Quick analysis of thermal systems without the use of CAD models may be very valuable for rapidprototyping. Such a need led to the heavy modification of the Heat Transfer package found in the Modelica standard library. The library in question revolves around a three-dimensional generic block composed of a variable number of interconnected elements with individually assignable thermal and physical properties. When applying the accompanying library functions; one may create moderately complex thermal structures with non-uniform thermal properties. Furthermore; other tools available also allow the user to attach chains of blocks of different resolutions; as well as insert one block into another to create composite models with the possibility of internal heat generation.
