Movement Modeling in Problems of Induction Heating

This article describes the methods of modeling the complex motion of heated billets in induction plants to improve the efficiency of the mathematical models. To ensure the uniformity of heating it is necessary to use different types of movement of the workpiece. The different types of the movement can be applied in induction heating processes: a rotating or reciprocating motion of the workpiece, the translational motion of the workpiece column. Often a combination of several types of movement requires. Modeling these processes leads to excessive demands on computing resources. In the present article several methods of motion replacement by change of physical parameters or replacement of one complex motion by several simple ones are given. This approach can significantly increase the efficiency of computational experiments.
