SCOPE- B2 THE APPLICATION OF FEM PACKAGES FOR DETERMINATION OF MAGNETIC FIELD DISTRIBUTION IN SUPERCONDUCTING DEVICES

At current stage of advanced research on the application of superconductivity, the crucial thing is to use novel methods for the numerical investigation of different phenomena in superconducting devices such as Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL), transformers, electromagnets, and others. At the designing and constructing of superconducting devices experimental verification of brief foredesign is then essential. Due to specific operation of superconducting devices that require expensive cooling it is necessary to limit the number of experiments and the application of numerical simulations. The application of FEM packages for advanced numerical models of superconducting devices allows for detailed analysis of their operation without constructing expensive physical models and their examination. One of the most important problems, connected with designing and using superconducting devices is recognition of the influence of electromagnetic field distribution on superconducting devices operation. This paper describes selected examples of numerical analysis of the distribution of electromagnetic field of the superconducting devices. The results were determined using the QuickField 4.2 and OPERA 3D FEM software
