Comsol problem
Induction heating using permanent magnets with conductive rotating plate Initially, I was trying to model the system using a combination of Magnetic Fields (mf) with permanent magnets (defined through remanent flux density), Heat Transfer in Solids, and Electromagnetic Heating coupling in COMSOL Multiphysics 6.0. For the rotational motion of the conductive plate, I attempted two different approaches: first, I used Moving Mesh (ALE) to physically rotate the geometry of the plate, and then I also tried Rotating Machinery Magnetic (RMM) to introduce the effect of motion in the electromagnetic equations. However, in both cases, the results were inconsistent: the plate did not heat up, and no Joule heating was generated. I also encountered an issue where the variable mf.Qh was undefined, which suggested that no electromagnetic losses were being properly computed. Because of these issues, I started reconsidering the physics setup and attempted to change the modeling approach.
