ThermX Documentation
Everything you need to know about using ThermX for 2D heat transfer analysis.
Welcome
ThermX is a modern, cross-platform tool for 2D steady-state heat transfer analysis of building components. It uses the Finite Element Method (FEM) with GPU acceleration, automatic meshing, and full results visualization — and can read and write LBNL THERM (.thmx) files.
