’Simulation of coupled electromagnetic/thermal systems using CAE software’
Electromagnetic induction heating occurs in electrically conducting materials when they are in the presence of time varying magnetic fields. This phenomenon is utilised in a wide range of industrial applications. Simulating induction heating effects using computer-aided engineering software requires the solution of both electromagnetic and thermal field distributions. Often a transient solution is required to determine the temperature distribution as a function of time, and this can be complicated by the characteristic wide disparity between the time constants of the electrical and thermal systems. This paper illustrates examples of coupled electromagnetic/thermal field simulations for both steady-state and transient conditions.
