Introduction

INDUCTO 2D™ program provides coupled electromagnetic and thermal analysis in the 2D/RS domain. The eddy current simulation capabilities of OERSTED™ are linked to the thermal analysis capabilities of KELVIN™ to provide a complete solution for induction heating problems.

INDUCTO 2D™ can perform both transient and steady-state simulations. In addition, the OERSTED™ and KELVIN™ modules can be used separately when coupled simulations are not required.

Using INDUCTO 2D™ designers can:

  • Determine temperature distribution at all points within a model
  • Calculate effective resistance and reactance of induction coils
  • Calculate total power requirements for induction heating systems
  • Custom design coils to accommodate specific induction heating applications
  • Design flux concentrators, magnetic shunts and electromagnetic shields
  • Investigate effects of transient heating and cooling regimes

Features

  • 3D RF and microwave field solver for a diverse range of applications.
  • Finite difference time domain solver.
  • At no extra cost, our software packages include:
    • Choice of solvers: To ensure you have confidence in the solution and for independent verification, both BEM and FEM methods are included in the same software package to suit your specific application needs. Not every solver fits every application, no “one size fits all”.
    • Choice of optimization tools: Parametric Analysis for those who need fast and easy optimization with a short learning curve. API and Scripting give more power to advanced users. Both tools are available in the same package.
    • Built-in material libraries:Customize and create your own library for easy access to the materials you use.
    • Integration with MATLAB®: Users' MATLAB code can include function calls to the INTEGRATED API to build geometry, assign physical parameters, solve, and obtain results.
    • Parallelization: When used on 64-bit computers, this permits full utilization of the available RAM to dramatically increase speed of solution and post-processing.
  • Intuitive interface that can be easily customized according to user preferences (overall appearance, toolbars, solvers, backgrounds, defaults, etc.)
