Green's Function Number -- Brief Tutorial

The GF number for 1-D heat transfer has the form X- - B- - G-T-  where the dashes represent numbers. Designation X- -  is required, the rest is optional.
 
Number Specifies
X - -  Types of boundary conditions, one digit for each boundary.  Boundary types are: 1=specified temp.; 2=specified flux; 3=specified convection; and, 0=semi-infinite (boundary far away).
B - -  Heat effect at boundaries, one digit for each boundary: 0=none; 1=steady; and, 2=linear-in-time,3=polynomial-in-time.
G -  Volume (internal) heat generation:  G0=none; G1=uniform; and, G2=linear, G3=polynomial. 
T -  Initial condition (transient only):  T0=zero; T1=uniform; and, T2=linear, T3=polynomial.

Example:  X12B10G1

Designation X12B10G1 has three segments.  Segment X12 represents a body described by a Cartesian coordinate system with a type 1 boundary (specified temperature) at x=0, and type 2 boundary (specified flux) at x=L.  Segment B10 describes the boundaries further with a constant, non-zero temperature at x=0, and at x=L the boundary flux is zero (insulated boundary).  Segment G1 indicates uniform heat generation throughout the body. Because the "T" designation is missing, the heat transfer is (assumed to be) steady.
