Abstract

A feasibility has been demonstrated for numerical reconstruction of geometrical displacement or deformations of the winding occurred in the manufacture and assembly of magnet coils using magnetic measurements, that is one of the principal issues for the quality control of the magnet. For validations of the proposed approach, test results of reconstruction of possible misalignments and deviations of the ITER coil are presented.
