Modelling Thermal Shock

I'm having problems with breakage of alumina tubing in higher temperature tube furnaces. Does anyone know of a relatively easy-to-use computer model, preferably freeware, that I can use to model thermal stresses in the tubes? I want to come up with a graded insulation design to minimize shock but also minimize heat losses so a 3d model would be preferable. Thanks.
