Efficient Design of Advanced Pulsed Magnets

The algorithms and basic equations used in the ldquoPMDSrdquo code for efficient coil design are described. The code calculates stresses and heating in the mid-plane only; there they are highest. The pulse shape is calculated for a capacitor discharge and for a voltage waveform derived from a generator. As examples, the optimization of a monolithic coil and a dual magnet are discussed, the latter based on the European ldquoARMSrdquo magnet. The influence of materials data on magnet performance is discussed.
