Abstract
We describe a modular simulation code for microwave curing of polymers . The exposed item geometry can be either 3D or 2D (extruded draw piec es), the item can be multi-component and contain metal insertions as w ell. The applied microwave field can be either resonant or traveling w ave, with or without mode-stirring. The output of the code is in the f orm of cross-linking degree and temperature maps. Utilities are includ ed to input the problem's geometry and to display the outputs.
