TEMPO solves the steady state and transient thermal equations to determine temperature rise due to given heat sources. The sources can either be user defined, or can be due to electromagnetic heating computed using other OPERA-3d analysis modules, and imported into TEMPO.

The thermal conductivity tensor and heat source density can be specified as a function of position, and can be temperature dependant (leading to a non-linear analysis).

Boundary conditions are primarily used to specify the coupling of the thermal system to its surroundings. A range of conditions are included in TEMPO, including a general non-linear transfer condition that can be used to model radiation from a boundary.

TEMPO features include:

• Full 3D modeling
• Automatic Mesh Generation
• Efficient Data Input
• Non linear materials
• Interfaces to CAD/CAM
• Various boundary conditions including
• perfect insulator
• fixed temperature
• heat flux
• heat-transfer to fixed temperature medium
• radiation
• general non-linear transfer condition
• Display of temperature and heat flux distribution
• Import of eddy current heat sources from electromagnetic analysis
