| Problem encountered
In order to improve the productivity of a heat treatment process performed at temperatures exceeding 2700°C, a prototype has to be designed. Therefore we have to quickly validate different technical choices and sizings.
Objectives
- To verify temperatures reached by the different materials,
- To propose and validate different design alternatives.
Solution
- 2D and 3D simulations of the prototype and its system of induction heating .
- Simplified simulation of the load to be processed.
- Calibration of the inaccurately parameters from the setpoint temperature.
- Sensitivity studies on imprecise parameters of simulation and on various design parameters.
