Dear colleagues,
Currently I'm working on a simulation of induction heat treatment of a steel material. I'm using Abaqus' co-simulation functionality to couple an electromagnetic (time harmonic) analysis with a heat transfer problem. Everything works fine so far apart from one significant problem: Apparently, a time-harmonic electromagnetic simulation does not yet support nonlinear B-H curves. Now it seems to me that the time harmonic electromagnetic - heat transfer co-simulation is not much use because the permeability remains constant for varying field stengths, which is not the case for ferromagnetic materials.
Does anyone know a way to resolve this issue?
Kind regards
