5.8 Co-simulation between electromagnetic and thermal or stress analysis procedures

Product: Abaqus/Standard  

Benefits: Co-simulation between an electromagnetic analysis and a thermal or stress analysis is now supported.

Description: Direct coupling between an electromagnetic and a thermal or a stress analysis procedure is now supported through the co-simulation capability. This capability allows simulation of problems such as induction heating where the Joule heat output from an electromagnetic analysis drives a thermal analysis, while the temperature output from the thermal analysis affects the electromagnetic fields through temperature-dependent material properties. Analysis involving coupling between an electromagnetic and a stress analysis procedure is also supported but limited to a one-way transfer of results—magnetic body forces from the electromagnetic to the stress analysis.
