Coil Size Optimization - induction heating
This Gallery page demonstrates how OptiNet is used with MagNet and ThermNet in a coupled electromagnetic-thermal simulation. 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 a workpiece. This simulation is a transient thermal solution that, at each time step during the transient process, is coupled to a time-harmonic electromagnetic solution.

Optimization of NDT Sensor Probe
One of the most critical design decisions in any NDT/NDE problem is the design of the probe and its suitability for detecting particular types of defects. Starting from a model based on the WFNDEC Eddy Current Benchmark #2, OptiNet was used to determine the optimal coil geometry and frequency at which the inspection should be performed.
