We are currently using FEKO to analyze electromagnetic waves in microwave heating equipment.

I would like to analyze the temperature of the object to be heated. Is there any way to analyze the temperature with FEKO?

Alternatively, please let me know if there is a software suitable for temperature analysis of microwave heating in the Hyper works product group.

    Hello @uehara01

     

    You can have a look at the thermal analysis example (script) that is available from the Script Exchange on Altair Connect (https://connect.altair.com/). I'm not sure if it would be suitable for your application - it is an implementation of the Pennes bioheat equation for use in the healthcare industry.

    Our development teams are working on a more general solution that will allow using Feko to calculate the power loss and OptiStruct to calculate the thermal effects in future.

     

    Kind regards
