Inductive Heating of a Copper Cylinder

Application ID: 148


The induced currents in a copper cylinder produce heat that in turn change the electrical conductivity. This means that the field propagation has to be solved simultaneously with the heat transfer through the cylinder and surrounding system.

This model shows this coupling between eddy currents and heat transfer as a tutorial example.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
