The transient electromagnetic analysis of conducting structures in tok
amaks is presented. This analysis is based on a three-dimensional thin
conducting shell model. The finite element method has been used to so
lve the corresponding integrodifferential equation. The code TYPHOON h
as been developed to calculate transient processes in tokamaks. Calcul
ation tests and the code verification have been carried out. The calcu
lation results of eddy current and force distribution and a.c. losses
for different construction elements for both ITER and TEXTOR tokamaks
magnetic systems are presented.
