Abstract
To find the behavior of a large scale cable, one must find an accurate method for describing the inner geometry of these cables. A new approach has been developed which uses the idea that subcomponents of the cable rotate about a center of inertia. This methodology can be used for a variety of geometries where compaction due to the manufacturing process makes the geometry difficult to model. Finally, this algorithm is applied to the design of the cable-in-conduit conductor for the proposed ITER magnet
