First, the geometry is added using a previously made geometry sequence. The tutorial above shows the building of a steel billet model, using the Inductive Heating interface in the AC/DC Module. Since actions speak louder than words, we have included a video tutorial of this interaction for your viewing.Īs a follow-up to the live Transformer and Inductor webinar hosted on February 7 th with IEEE Spectrum, we have created a video of one of the demos to share with everyone here on the blog. COMSOL Multiphysics is able to cleverly simulate them through combining the frequency domain modeling of the magnetic field with a stationary simulation of the heat transfer, using its Inductive Heating interface. Yet, simulating these two coupled physics together can be difficult to do as they are intrinsically based on different time scales.

The induced current causes it to heat up (called inductive heating), as all current does.

Induction occurs when a metal object moves in the presence of a magnetic field inducing a current in that object.
