Abstract :
This paper presents an algorithm for finite element simulation induction heating of steel cylinders. Such cylinders have been installed as calender rolls in the Calcoil system for paper plants. This algorithm is used in place of the pre-processor module in EMRC NISA II software. A special pre-processing program has been designed for modelling of a typical section of the cylinder. Computed results are compared to infrared measurements of a laboratory model of a calender roll. And, finally, the possibilities of utilizing and developing the algorithm are discussed
