The article is devoted to the development of a problem-oriented numerical model of the process of tailored induction heating of a steel cylindrical billet. The market of software products (SP) for the numerical solution of problems of various physical nature is analyzed and the choice of the most universal package for solving interrelated thermal and electromagnetic problems – ANSYS Mechanical APDL is justified. The key functions and competitive advantages of the software package for solving the task are given. The successive stages of building an axisymmetric model of a three-section heating system are considered in detail: assignment of constant and nonlinear physical properties of billet and inductor materials; setting the design and operating characteristics of the "billet-inductor" system in parametric form; construction of an axisymmetric geometric model of the system; realization of the possibility of autonomous control of the currents of the inductor sections; definition and assignment of finite elements; superimposing a finite element grid, setting initial and boundary conditions. The analysis of the simulation results is given. The implemented numerical model of the tailored induction heating process is focused on integration into a special optimization procedure based on the alternanse parametric optimization method and aimed at reducing deviations of the resulting temperature distributions from the required profile, estimated in a uniform metric.
