Hi Bill
I use Excel for 1d thermal models and pattern them from the Philpotts text which describes how to construct CN finite element spreadsheets. These can be adapted for geotherms, contact metamorphism, and thermal relaxation of thrust sheets.
I can send you an example if interested. Of course the downside for teaching is that they are easily corrupted and require Bill Gates.

If anyone has re-written programs such as these to run on a current computer platform, or created similar applications in Matlab, etc., please let me know.
