Coupling the Numerical Modeling of the Inductive Heating Process Using a Matlab-PDE Software Development and the Minitab-Full Factorial Software in order to Optimize the Parameters of an Inductive Electrothermal Equipment

Abstract

This paper describes the coupling between the numerical modeling of the induction heating process, using a Matlab-PDE software development, with a statistical model, which uses the Design of Experiments (DOE) concept, based on the Minitab-Full Factorial software, offering optimal solutions as regards the inductive electrothermal equipment.
