Abstract: Electromagnetically-coupled manufacturing processes cover a wide range of applications - such as magnetic pulse forming processes or induction heat treatment processes. This paper presents a computational model and numerical tool developed in our laboratory for modelling these processes taking into account their specificities.

Keywords: computational modelling; finite elements; multiphysics couplings; process optimisation; electromagnetic couplings; induction heating processes; magnetic pulse forming processes; heat transfer.
