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.
