Inductive Heating

Power density distribution in gear under heat treatment by induction

INTEGRATED is able to analyze inductive heating problems through Eddy Current and/or Thermal analysis. In the case where both aspects need to be simulated together, the individual analysis components are combined in a single program so that the power loss computed from Eddy Current or Loss Curve analysis is available as a power source in the thermal analysis.

In induction heating, the current distribution within the coils will be a function of time. These type of problems require a general time dependent Eddy current solver. This feature is available in OERSTED.
