ABSTRACT

The computer program CONDUCT is constructed in two parts: the invariant part contains the general calculation procedure for conduction-type problems and the adaptation part is a user-designed subroutine for the specification of a particular problem. All the important Fortran variables in the invariant part of the program are included in COMMON statements, which are used in various subprograms and also in the adaptation part of CONDUCT. The Main program is so short that it is virtually self-explanatory. Initially, it calls DEFLT to set the default values for many important variables. After DEFLT, the routine GRID is called to receive the user-specified geometrical information about the grid. The most important calculation machinery of CONDUCT is contained in the subroutine HEART. It is that the discretization coefficients are calculated and the boundary condition modifications are made. One utility routine provided in CONDUCT is the subroutine VALUES.
