Induction heating of a moving ferromagnetic mechanical part

Induction heating is used for various metallurgical processes such as hardening. Here the 3D induction heating of a mechanical joint passsing through an induction heating coil is simulated. Curie point effects and temperature dependent resistivity in the iron are taken into account. Read More

Tunable MEMS Capacitor

The electrostatically tunable parallel plate capacitor in this example is a typical component in various MEMS devices for radio frequencies that range between 300 MHz and 300 GHz. You can modify the distance between the two plates, as the applied voltage changes, through a spring ... Read More

Taylor Cone with Level Set

This model deals with electrohydrodynamics (EHD), where a charge separation on the phase boundary between a liquid and air involves the formation of a charged layer. This charged layer allows for a net force to be induced at the interphase when a large electric field is applied. The ... Read More

Extracting Electrical Circuits from Electromagnetic Simulations

The models here showcase several use cases of the Circuit Extractor add-in, which is able to generate electric circuits from solved physics. A more detailed description of this tutorial model can be found in the blog post "Extracting Electrical Circuits from Electromagnetics ... Read More

Magnetohydrodynamics Pump

Induction pumps are used in high temperature cooling systems. The principle of operation is equivalent to a linear three phase induction motor. The lack of moving parts and the pumped liquid being kept in a hermetically closed system are clear advantages. This model shows how to simulate ... Read More

Optimizing Coils

Several different approaches to optimizing a ten-turn axisymmetric coil are presented. First, the current in each turn is adjusted with the objective of having a uniform magnetic flux density along the centerline. Second, the currents are adjusted to minimize power dissipation with a ... Read More
