Computational Modelling for Low-Frequency Electromagnetism and Multiphysics Couplings:

Cemef has been developing for several years its expertise and computational tools in the field of accurate models for the mechanical and physical behaviour of materials. In these last years, the development of a computational tool for solving low and middle frequency 2D and 3D electromagnetic problems has taken place. This tool is based on the use of edge finite element for space discretisation. The magnetic couplings are ensured through a finite element modelling of the air domain. In addition, two approaches for time discretisation have been developed: a harmonic approach leading to complex linear systems, and a time integration scheme which leads to solving real linear systems.
In addition, this tool is used for modelling coupled electromagnetic / thermal / mechanical / metal - among other things for processing induction heating. The computational tool used to model thermal / mechanical / metal is the finite element software FORGE3.
The objective of this study is to reduce computational costs required by these models in order to enable the simulation of such processes at an industrial scale.
