A numerical calculation model for the solution of 2D and 3D induction heating problems, which takes the nonlinearities of both the electromagnetic and thermal material properties into account, is described. The solution of a 2D-coupled field problem is found by traditional FEM. In a 3D analysis nonlinear surface impedances are utilized in the magnetic field problem and the power transfer to the workpiece is modeled using heat fluxes. The performance of the model was verified by comparing the calculated temperature profiles with the measurements.
