[Analysis Case] Induction Heating Analysis of Steel Plates (Coupled Analysis of Magnetic Field and Heat)
The target of the analysis is a steel plate penetrated by three-phase alternating current lines.
The analysis of induction heating of a steel plate (coupled analysis of magnetic field and heat) involves calculating the eddy currents flowing in the steel plate generated by the magnetic field created by three-phase current, and then determining the heat distribution caused by these eddy currents. Next, we analyze heat conduction based on the calculated heat generation. For more details, please download the catalog.

basic information
【Features】 ○ Analysis Modules: → Magnetic field analysis uses PHOTO-EDDYjω, thermal conduction analysis uses PHOTO-THERMO. ○ Three-phase alternating current is set for the current lines. ○ Results analyzed using PHOTO-EDDYjω: → The changes in the current density vector [A/m²] can be observed. This shows how eddy currents are generated, leading to a heating phenomenon. This is the so-called "induction heating" phenomenon. ○ Thermal Conduction Analysis: → Using the heat generation obtained from the magnetic field analysis, thermal conduction analysis on the iron plate is conducted with PHOTO-THERMO. The changes in temperature distribution [°C] on the iron plate can be observed, revealing the nature of thermal conduction. ● For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

At Photon, we are developing "electromagnetic field analysis software" that models and simulates products and components utilizing electromagnetic phenomena on computers. In traditional design and development environments, the process has primarily revolved around trial and error through prototypes based on the experience of engineers and experiments with those prototypes. However, conducting experiments with actual prototypes and analyzing the results requires significant time and cost. Moving forward, transitioning from an experimental and prototype-based approach to an analysis-based design is a critical issue for improving productivity, and establishing simulation technology as the core of analysis-based design techniques is a challenge. In this context, Photon is developing and providing "analysis software" focusing on electromagnetic fields, as well as heat, vibration, and sound fields. By utilizing Photon’s software, efficient development and design of various industrial products can be achieved. In this way, Photon aims to reduce the number of prototypes and development costs, shorten development periods in the manufacturing sites of our users, and ultimately support the enhancement of our users' competitiveness.
