This paper presents a new algorithm for finite element simulation of induction heating of steel cylinders. Such cylinders have been installed as calender rolls in the Calcoil system for paper plants. This algorithm is used in place of the preprocessor module in EMRC NISA II software. A special preprocessing program has been designed for modeling of a typical section of the cylinder. Computed results are compared to infrared measurements of a laboratory model of a calender roll and, finally, the possibilities of utilizing and developing the algorithm are discussed.
