design optimization -- induction heating
OptiNet's discrete optimizer is featured here in this example
of how OptiNet, in tandem with MagNet and ThermNet, is used to find the
optimal shape design for a multiple coil inductor device.
Case hardening of a bearing raceway
This gallery page is an example of the hardening of a raceway
for a bearing, using the coupled solving capabilities of MagNet and
ThermNet.
Induction heating of a tube
An example of the induction heating of a tube, solved using ThermNet
and MagNet by coupling the 2D thermal transient solver to the 2D magnetic
time-harmonic solver.
Induction heating past the Curie point
This problem, consisting of a workpiece and a driving coil, demonstrates
the fully-coupled capabilities of the ThermNet and MagNet solvers.
NAFEMS Benchmark for Thermal Analysis
The accuracy of the Thermal solver is verified with this apparently
simple benchmark problem, which is actually computationally difficult
due to a numerical singularity.
