Optimizing the Process of Inductive Heating in Volume Using Numerical Simulations

Abstract

This paper presents a modeling process, using the 2D Flux software and an optimization process, based on the Response Surface Method, Central Composite Design, from the Minitab Statistical Software. In this paper, the induction heating in volume of a semi-finished product has been modeled, neglecting the end effect.
