INDUCTION HEATING

What are the benefits of simulation?

Designing and making induction coils is technically challenging. Computer simulation helps tackle some of the challenges, limiting costs and maximising effectiveness.

• Test and optimize your coil design and heating process digitally, save time and money on numerous physical design iterations

• Calculate power efficiency, frequency and heating time to get necessary results

• Achieve correct impedance matching between the coil and the power source

• Simulate magnetic flux concentrators

• Present the results to your customers in 2D or 3D images and graphs

• Scale your business faster with simulation software!

Do I need to be a trained engineer to use it?

Using dedicated templates a beginner can run his first induction simulation just under 30 min, and become a pro user with any 3D geometry after 2 weeks of training, guided by CENOS engineers.

Moreover, CENOS offers webinars, customer support, online forum and rich documentation site.
