Simulation software SIMHEAT®

for automotive applicationsfor the aerospace industryfor medical applications

SIMHEAT® is the effective solution to simulate heat treatment processes of metallic alloy (including carbon steel and aluminium) and obtain true insights of workpiece distortion, residual stress and microstructural evolution. Perfectly dedicated to induction heat treating Induction heat treatment simulation provides comprehensive information about temperature gradient from surface to core and also the location of areas where phase transformations occur. SIMHEAT® can monitor the impact of current frequency, coil geometry and even concentrators’ location within the heat affected zone. Material modelling considers electrical and magnetic properties that are temperature-dependent. SIMHEAT® is perfectly dedicated to induction hardening with : A multi-physics approach to capture ‘mechanical-electromagnetic-metallurgical’ phenomena Monitor inductors & concentrators in motion to image rotating parts and induction equipment (e.g. case hardening of a crankshaft) Up-to-date modelling of the generators that adjusts current intensity and frequency to maintain prescribed nominal power values Prediction of heat affected zone and metallurgical transformations to identify austenized areas prior to quenching Local mesh adaptation based on the temperature penetration depth
