Full Three-Dimensional Multiphysics Model of High-Field Polyhelices Magnets

High field Resistive magnets for static field de- veloped at the Laboratoire National des Champs Magn etiques Intenses (LNCMI) are based on the so-called polyhelix technique. Their design relies on non-linear 3D multi-physic models. As the user demands for higher magnetic field or specific field profile are growing we have to revisit our numerical models. They need to include more physics and more precise geometry. In this context we have rewritten our numerical model in the frame of a collaboration with Institut de Recherche en Math ematique Avanc ee (IRMA). New models have been implemented with the finite element library Feel++. This paper gives a status of these developments and the new features available. Results are presented for a 14 polyhelices insert targeting 36 Tesla in a 34 mm bore.High field Resistive magnets for static field de- veloped at the Laboratoire National des Champs Magn etiques Intenses (LNCMI) are based on the so-called polyhelix technique.
