CALCULATION OF THE HEATING CURRENT POWER OF A SIX-PUNCH HIGH-PRESSURE APPARATUS USING ANSYS APDL

Abstract

Due to their unique properties, diamond crystals are widely used in various fields of industry. Large and clean diamonds are found in nature in insufficient quantities, therefore the task of their artificial production is relevant today. The main method of growing artificial diamond crystals is the temperature gradient method. The specified method is extremely demanding on the temperature values in the growth volume. Experimental determination of temperature is a rather complex process, so it is advisable to use computer modeling methods, namely the ANSYS software complex. One of the parameters that allows you to change the temperature in the growth volume is the power of heating six-punch high-pressure devices with alternating current. However, the ANSYS software complex does not allow you to obtain the value of the current power in an explicit form. In this paper, a method of calculating electric current power using the APDL programming language is proposed. The proposed method is tested for a problem that has an analytical solution. A good agreement between the calculated and experimental data is also shown.
