Simulation capabilities

• Easy to handle rotation, scanning, movement, multi-step movement in 2D and 3D

• Accurate materials representation: temperature dependent properties, B-H curves and magnetic saturation, heating over Curie point

• Simulation of coils with flux concentrators (Fluxtrol and similar materials) and lamination

• Heating and lifetime investigation of coils and flux concentrators (incl. hysteresis losses)

• Hardening and quenching: calculation of metallurgical phases (martensite, austenite, perlite, bainite) and hardness

• Energy and circuit data: apparent power, inductance, resistance, coupling efficiency

• Magnetic field force (Lorenze force) acting on coil parts and a workpiece

• MHz calculations (surface impedance method)

… and many more, because this is the only software specialized on induction heating with full spectrum of necessary functionality. And we are constantly working to add more value.

Data security

CENOS is a desktop software, which means it is safe by design. CENOS keeps all data at your premises, on your PC:

CAD files, materials data, all input parameters, results of simulations. It's all fully secure because data never leaves your computer.
 

We require an internet connection just to verify your software license. Connection to our license server is the only dataflow going out of your computer.

Hardware requirements

You don’t need a supercomputer to run induction heating simulations with CENOS. Intel i5 or i7 (or similar) are good enough. The faster processor you have, the faster calculation will go.

We recommend to have at least 16Gb RAM to calculate 3D cases, 32Gb is better. Actually, the more RAM you have, the bigger (more complex) 3D geometries you can simulate. Some of our customers use 128 Gb machines and that’s like for rocket-science-cases.

Return on the investment

Our customers - induction heating equipment manufacturers, coil designers, commercial heat treaters and manufacturing companies, calculate return of investment (ROI) of the software for the following benefits:

• Coil development without physical testing - time and material saving up to 80%

• Recipe development without wasting parts - scrap reduction up to 90%

• Better coil and receipt design by full understanding of the process - energy saving up to 30%

• Coil lifetime optimization predicting failures - up to 10x longer lifetime

• More precise fit to heating/hardening specifications - energy saving up to 30%

• Facilitation of design staff learning by failing in computer - up to 5x better and faster design from young engineers

• Avoid performance failures and coil return - forever!

• Ability to order 3D printed coils with confidence of their performance

• More successful pre-sale by making customers confident in the design/service quality

• Ability to re-use legacy induction equipment by powering R&D with computer simulation
