A generalized shell heat transfer element is formulated in isoparametric coordinates to simulate the 3D thermal of non-uniformly heated shells with curved geometries. The element uses a combination of finite element and control volume methods to discretize the domain of the element into 2D layers that are coupled by a finite difference calculation. As demonstrated in previous work, the finite element control volume formulation allows the thermal response to be evaluated with minimal computational expense and the temperature field is calculated in a manner that is compatible with distributed plasticity elements for structural analysis. Although the formulation uses a mixture of finite element and finite difference equations, the element equations are in a form that can readily be implemented in a commercial finite element code. The nine-node quadratic element considered here is implemented in Abaqus as a user-defined element. One-, two-, and three-dimensional verification cases are presented to demonstrate the capabilities of the element. Comparisons between the shell heat transfer element and traditional continuum heat transfer elements illustrate that the shell element converges rapidly and results insignificant savings in computational expense.
