Shows a list of all heaters and their power respectively current in column Actual. When you select a heater from the list, the settings of the heater are displayed and the corresponding regions are selected in the Main Window.

When you click on a region in the Main Window, a new heater is added respectively the corresponding heater is selected in the list.

You can piece together a heater from more than one region, if you select a heater, hold the CTRL key and select further regions. To portion out the total power to the regions see Heaters.

You can enter a name for the heater in this field (no spaces allowed). Confirm with Enter or click Apply to save the entry.

Deletes the heater from the list. The corresponding regions remain in the drawing.

Shows the regions of the selected heater and their fractions of the heaters total power respectively current.

Specifies the fraction of the heaters power belonging to the selected region. The sum of all fractions for one resistance heater must be 1, e.g. 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 for a heater consisting of three regions.

Deletes the selected region from the list, so that the region does not belong to the selected heater any more. The region in the Main Window will remain, so that you can reassign the deleted region to the heater every time.

You can assign a region only to one heater at the same time.

Specifies the selected heater as a resistance heater, which is defined by its power value (in W).

Specifies the selected heater as an induction heater, which is defined by the current through the coil (in A) and its Frequency (in Hz).

The heating power respectively current is constant during the simulation.

The power respectively current is time-dependent and read from the specified file. The first column contains the time (in s) and the power respectively the current at that time in the column ( col ) specified by the dialog.

Linear interpolation is used between the rows of the file.

The power respectively current will be calculated in an inverse simulation, see Running an Inverse Simulation. In this case, you must set the minimal allowed power respectively current ( min: ) and the maximal allowed power respectively current ( max: ).

The power respectively current will be calculated in an inverse simulation. In this case, you must set the minimal allowed power respectively current ( min ) and the maximal allowed power respectively current ( max ).

The initial values for the power respectively current of the heater are read from the specified file. After the simulation the final power (current) values will be saved to the same place. If no file exists, it will be created.

Between the rows of the file linear interpolation is used.

Specifies a *.pro file with the desired time-dependent heater profile. This is available for the options Profile power and for Controlled profile.

Specifies the column number in the *.pro file ( file name ) with the heater values (power in W for resistance heaters or current in A for inductive heaters).
