Thanks for the input. I was able to model the cross section assuming that I know the temperature of the exterior surfaces as Mapes suggested. Unfortunately, now I have data for the material that could complicate things... The specific heat and the thermal conductivity of the concrete vary with...

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on coding a finite element heat problem in Matlab that is as follows: I have a cross section of a beam made of an isotropic material (concrete) that is placed in a furnace, and the outside temperature is raised at a constant rate. I am interested in...
