Help in Altair Flux... Induction Heating Applications

CarlosGarcia3DXPERT

Hello,

I hope this message reaches the right team.

I would like to ask if Altair Flux has the capability to calculate the hardening values of metal components, such as gears. If so, could you please provide an overview of the workflow for performing this analysis?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Best regards,

Hello Carlos,

Could you please specify what you mean with "calculate the hardening values of metal components"?

To give you an idea of what we can do with Flux, you can find here 2 examples where the hardening process is analyzed within Flux.

As you will see, the thermal solver in Flux can be also coupled with the electromagnetic one in order to stay in the same environment and thermal Boundary Conditions should be defined, as well as the material properties.

I hope this can help you. You can create a ticket in the support section indicating Flux as tool in case you will need help to model your case study.

Best regards,

Letizia
