PROBLEMS
Due to the complex behaviour of superconducting materials, simulations are very challenging. An inadequate stress management can lead to insulation failure, conductor movement, or cracks, increasing the risk of quenching and mechanical instability.
SOLUTIONS
Our laboratory proposes multi-technique tailored advanced testing solutions to extract relevant data to readily benchmark your FEA simulations
Benefits
Using short magnet mockups with increasing complexity to benchmark FEA simulations accelerates the design process by identifying issues early. This iterative approach helps refine material properties, boundary conditions, and stress analysis, preventing costly mistakes in later stages and ensuring a more efficient, reliable, and optimized final magnet design.
