Fast 3D simulation of various applications of induction heating

In this paper, we present some advances in 3D finite element modeling of the induction heating process. Lighten finite element models are used for fast simulation of Carbone Fiber Reinforced Polymers and massive metals at high frequencies. The lightening methods include the use of degenerated hexahedral Whitney elements for very thin anisotropic layers and the impedance boundary condition with external electrical circuit constraint.
