Computer Modeling Techniques for Induction: FDM, FEM, BEM

Certain numerical methods or software are preferred for each type of induction heating application. There is not a single universal computational method that optimally fits all types of applications. In recent years, the finite element method (FEM) became the dominant numerical simulation tool for a variety of engineering applications. Though FEM is a very effective modeling technique, it is not the ultimate computational tool for all induction heating applications. In some cases a combination of different methods is more effective.
