Hello.
I’m working on a project in Flux2D 2023.1 which involves an induction heater that heats a moving laminated core as shon in the picture below. The application is Steady-State AC Magnetic field coupled with a Transient Thermal analysis with a 2D axisymmetric domain.
I want the laminated core to move downward over time during the heating process. Currently, I’ve created a geometric parameter to change the billet’s position, but each time the position changes, the solver restarts the thermal calculation from the beginning (0 seconds). This means the temperature always resets instead of continuing from the previous state.
Is there a way to simulate the billet moving continuously over time - such that at 0 seconds the billet is, for example,
at 0 cm, at 1 second it’s at 1 cm, at 2 seconds at 2 cm, and so on - without starting each new step from 0 seconds?
Furthermore, is it possible to export the temperature distribution from one step and use it as the initial condition for the next step?
Thank you for your time and support.
