Description
In this lecture, we show how to set up a finite element model of an accelerator magnet. We discuss the challenges in simulating accelerator magnets and come up with a list of requirements for commercial or freeware simulation tools. The challenges include detailed geometries, nonlinear and hysterestic materials, superconductivity, composite materials, complicated eddy-current effects, multi-physics and multi-scale phenomena, uncertainties and large-scale computing.
