Abstract
A software package, which models high frequency dielectric heating pro cesses, is presented. Programming aspects of the simulation of continu ous heating processes, the mirroring effects due to boundary condition s and the influence of thermal diffusivity are discussed Applications dealing with vulcanizing and drying are described. A condition is form ulated by which mathematical instabilities in the finite elements calc ulations are avoided through a judicious choice of element size and ti mestep.
