Abstract: "Thermo" computer program is described. It is intended for computation of thermal cycle parameters during surface pulse heating. For example, during laser processing, surface heating owing to grinding, etc. It gives rates of heating, cooling, as well as temperature gradients and cumulative exposure time as function of the CURRENT TEMPERATURE, with the peak temperature at the surface as variable parameter. The indicated parameters are calculated at a surface, close to a surface (at 0.01μm)and for the points at a depth of the body.
