How to solve 2-D steady state heat conduction problem in MATLAB ?

Answer 1

[Youssef Khmou]

2D PDE can be solved using function : pdepe or by using old routines,

Take a look at my submission for beginning : http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/37923-2d-electric-potentialfield-in-parallel-plates-capacitor

Or this sophisticated submission : http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/35068-gui-2d-heat-transfer

Answer 2

[Bill Greene]

MATLAB function pdepe can solve PDE in only one spatial dimension and time.

The PDE Toolbox can solve PDE in two spatial dimensions and can also include time as an independent variable.
