Induction Heating

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I'm trying to heat an iron block using an induction heater. I've been following the tutorial of the Induction Heater, and have been successful in heating the block with the oscillating magnetic field of one ring of current. The tutorial uses a frequency of 20 kHz. The heater that I am trying to model uses a frequency of 60 Hz. The simulation does not converge for any frequencies below 1 kHz. Has anyone been successful in modeling a low frequency induction heater?

The link to the tutorial is below:
