Hi, is it there any way to calculate the efficiency of an induction heating process using comsols?

Hello Nestor,

I you can do it in measuring "electromagnetic heating [W]" on the different domains of your model.
In mf and mef physics this term is called mf.Qh and mef.Qh respectively.
So you can calculate the ratio between the term mf.Qh on a precise part and the total power dissipated on all your system.
The more simple way is to use mf physic and define a coil domain.

Best regards
Julien
