3-dimensional magnetic field calculation of the levitation magnet for HSST by the finite element method

This report describes the numerical analysis of the magnetic field for the levitation magnet of High Speed Surface Transport (HSST) being developed by JAPAN AIR LINES Co., Ltd. A 3-dimensional magnetic field analysis using a finite element method was adopted as an aid for the levitation magnet design. A new method was not used in this numerical calculation. However, only a few large scale magnetostatic models have been calculated, and therefore I believe the results are worth introducing.
