In this work a two-dimensional open source simulation code based on the finite difference method (FDM) has been developed. It is solved by means of the alternating direction implicit routine (ADI). The algorithm has been written in MATLAB language. The method improves computational pe …
ANSYS APDL codes for modelling the critical state magnetization current in REBCO tape stacks with a large number of turns using the A-V formulation
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:40:00 PM
An iterative algorithm method, based on ANSYS A–V formulation, is developed to simulate the critical state magnetization current Jc(B,θ) in ReBCO tape stacks during the field-cooling magnetization. The computation speed is quite fast because the eddy current is not computed in non-sup …

This model is based on ANSYS 15.0. The model calculates the AC loss in a superconducting magnet in the presence of a time-dependent transport current. The superconductor is modeled with Bean model. The parameters and outputs are all in text format, can be easily read and modified. Alm …
Effect of tape non uniformities on end-to-end V-I characteristics of superconducting tape
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:27:33 PM
This code evaluates the influence of non-uniformities of (Ic,n) along a superconducting tape, modeled as a series of non-linear resistances, each characterized by its Ic and n. In particular, it calculates the effect of the statistical distributions of Ic and n of these segments on th …

Mixed A- and H- formulation for modeling electrical machines with superconducting windings
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:20:57 PM
The model uses the H-formulation for the superconducting windings and the A-formulation for the non-superconducting parts. Two important lines are defined: the “tramodel” lines, which separates the two formulations, and the “rotation” line, which separates the fixed and rotating parts …
3-D numerical simulation with the fast Fourier transform of a magnetic shield and a magnetic lens made of a bulk type II superconductor
by administrator on Mar 15, 2024 1:18:51 PM
The method is efficient and can be easier to implement than the alternative approaches based on the finite element methods.
