Induction Heating
Coil Size Optimization - Induction Heating
In the multiple-coil configuration shown in this figure, the work piece is surrounded by six coils (coils are shown partially so that the workpiece can be seen). The objective of this optimization is to find the inner radii of the coils in order to obtain a uniform temperature in the upper portion of the workpiece.

Induction Heating past the Curie Point
This example demonstrates the fully coupled capability of the ThermNet and MagNet solvers. The problem consists of a workpiece and a driving coil. Eddy current losses in the workpiece raise its temperature past the Curie point, which in turn affects the distribution of the eddy currents. Without a fully coupled solver and temperature dependent material properties the change in the eddy current distribution as the temperature changes would not be modeled correctly.
