Development of a new powerful computer code CrysVUN++ especially designed for fast simulation of bulk crystal growth processes

The program package CrysVUN + + is introduced. It is designed for the needs of crystal growers to have a fast and efficient computer code for the simu lation of the growth processes and equipment. Heat transfer by nonlinear an isotropic conduction and radiation as well as the analysis of thermoelastic stress and solving the problem of heater control is supported by an easy t o handle user interface.
