Bus Bar Electromagnetic-Thermal Co-Simulation (Maxwell-Mechanical)

This steady electromagnetic-thermal tutorial is based on a bus bar induction heating co-simulation with two-way 3D data transfers. In this co-simulation:

  • Maxwell performs a transient electromagnetic solution. However, the solution values sent to System Coupling are time-averaged over the duration of the co-simulation.

  • Mechanical performs a steady thermal solution.

  • System Coupling coordinates the simultaneous execution of the participants' solvers and the data transfers between their coupled volume regions.
