Solution to 2D Heat Conduction with Periodic Temperature variations: A comparative study using analytical, numerical, and simulation methods

This project compares heat transfer analysis using analytical methods, Finite Difference Method (FDM), and ANSYS simulation. A steady-state thermal problem is solved using all three approaches. Temperature distribution and heat flux are studied under the same boundary conditions. The results are compared to understand accuracy, efficiency, and suitability for complex problems. ANSYS results closely match analytical and FDM solutions, confirming the reliability of the simulation.
