I am trying to simulate the induction heating of a cylinder in 3D, using an imported coil with quite a complicated geometry. The problem is, that every time I try to solve it, COMSOL Multiphysics gets stuck after analysing the coil geometry. I also tried to solve easier models with just a helix as a coil, but when I added an air domain around the model it did not work either. Without the air it worked, but this will not result in any induction heating in the cylinder of course. The only node I added to the model so far (because I wanted to keep it simple at the beginning) is the coil node, with the "single conductor" option. Has anybody had a similar problem or maybe an idea what I did wrong?
I added the model below, it is in german, but I think the simbols are still the same.
I hope somebody may help me!
