Electromagnetic modeling and analysis of an induction heating coil
Altair EmployeeDescription
Induction has been commonly used as a heating method in many industrial applications. A complete induction heating modeling and analysis process involves two physical aspects: electromagnetic-thermal coupling
This tutorial will present how to use the SimLab-EM solution to model an induction heating device and run a basic electromagnetic analysis. The solution type is 3D Magnetic AC.
Billet: which will be heated during the process
Inductor: which is supplied by the current source
Results
Isovalues of B
Isovalues of J
Joules Losses VS Linear Position

Note :
The tutorial packaging may evolve with each new version, but not mandatory. The latest version of the tutorial package will automatically work with the most recent release of SimLab.
Example: After installing the SimLab 2025 release, you can find the latest Tuto_2024.zip package. This means that the tutorial has not been updated since 2024 release, that the tutorial does not need to be updated, and that the tutorial still works in 2024.1 release and 2025 release.
Step to follow:
- to follow the example step by step, the corresponding files are in "Example_name_StepByStep" folder containing:
- Input folder: contains initial *.slb databases an other files needed to be able to play manually the tutorial by following the step by step document
- Output folder: empty (contains the obtained results after to play the tutorial)
- Tutorial folder: contains the document describing the example step by step
- to play the tutorial by scripts, the corresponding files are in "Example_name_PlayScripts" folder containing:
- Input folder: contains initial *.slb databases an other files needed to be able to run scripts of the tutorial
- Output folder: empty (contains the obtained results after to play scripts of the tutorial)
- ScriptsTutorial folder: contains script files to be able to play each analysis
