For prototype mold that is used for making thermoset magnets in shape of tube is calculated thermal steady state during manufacturing process. Thermal analysis has been done with computer software for engineering simulations - ANSYS Structural. Magnets will be made with pressing heated magnetic material into mold, at the same time magnetic field will form their crystal shape. To properly manufacture magnets, mold has to be evenly heated with four cartridge heaters at steady temperature 170 °C. Magnetic field will be achieved with four coils that will also be water cooled. Altogether presents complex thermal boundary conditions. Based on calculated temperature field there are given our findings and potential modifications on the mold.
