Python and Matlab codes to model HTS tapes under arbitrary external field and transport current via integral method

This model was shared by Calvin C. T. Chow, The University of Hong Kong.

These Python and Matlab codes calculate ac loss of HTS tapes that are under two types of non-uniform external field whilst carrying a transport current. The two types are (1) field created by a point current source, and (2) field experienced by one straight section of a racetrack coil in the armature of an ironless machine. The codes use the integral method based on Brandt.
