QuickField Analysis for Induction heating
Webinar recorded on April 28, 2010.
QuickField may be very efficient tool for induction heating simulations. Specifics of induction heating systems - large dimensions, extremely fine mesh in surface area, involvement of electromagnetic and thermal processes utilize all advantages of QuickField. Fast solvers, stability on non-uniform meshes, support of coupled multiphysics analysis, combined with simple user interface are all required for tasks, related to induction heating.
At this webinar we will show you how to effectively apply the full range of QuickField capabilities for simulating different induction heating problems. As usual, most of presentations will be performed online, as a real-time work with QuickField software.
