Electromagnetic Heating, Layered Shell
Use the Electromagnetic Heating, Layered Shell multiphysics coupling () to account for electromagnetic surface losses as a heat source in the heat equation, in layered materials represented by boundaries.
Boundary Selection
Select the boundaries on which to define the electromagnetic heat source. The Restrict to layered boundaries check box makes the node applicable only if a layered material is defined on the boundary.
Coupled Interfaces
This section defines the physics involved in the electromagnetic heating multiphysics coupling.
Select the Electromagnetic interface associated to the electric potential dependent variable.
Select the Heat Transfer interface associated to the temperature dependent variable.
Shell Properties
You can limit the coupling to individually selected layers by clearing the Use all layers check box. For a given Layered Material Link or Layered Material Stack, you get access to a list of check boxes for the selection of the individual layers.
You can visualize the selected layered materials and layers in each layered material by clicking the Layer cross section preview and Layer 3D preview buttons.
See Layered Material, Layered Material Link, Layered Material Stack, Layered Material Link (Subnode), and Single-Layer Materials in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual for details on the definition of layered materials.
See Electromagnetic Heating in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual for a description of the corresponding multiphysics coupling in domains, in the context of Joule heating and laser heating modeling.
