Accurate RF (Radio Frequency) simulations of fusion systems like ITER require the definition of high-fidelity analysis geometries that include detailed antenna, reactor wall, and physics regions. Here, this paper will describe a workflow for the execution of adaptive high-performance simulations of RF fusion systems. In this workflow, the simulation input consists of a CAD model attributed with the needed analysis attributes. The analysis mesh is automatically generated and the analysis steps are executed using the time-harmonic Maxwell's equations solved using high-order Nédélec finite elements. A patch recovery-based error estimator is used to drive a conforming mesh adaptation procedure.
