EM: Eddy Current Applications
Prerequisites
- You should be familiar with LS-DYNA®.
Syllabus
This class overviews how to use the EM solver for Eddy current applications. This course is recommended for attendees who have industrial applications that involve Eddy currents, such as electromagnetic metal forming, inductive heating, and railguns.
