• abstract = "The temperature profile across an object is easy to compute by iterative methods. The time spent waiting for iterative solutions to converge for multiple objects in a complex configuration is an impediment to exploratory analysis of engineering systems. A rapidly computed initial guess can speed convergence for an iterative thermal solver. We describe and test a system for creating thermal agents that supply such initial guesses. Thermal agents are specific to an object geometry but general across different thermal boundary conditions. During an off-line training phase, genetic programming is used to locate a thermal agent by training on one or more sets of boundary conditions. In use, thermal agents transform boundary conditions into a rapidly converged set of initial values on a cellular decomposition of an object.",
