Case Study: UKAEA accelerates fusion magnet simulation and quench protection with Quanscient Allsolve

UKAEA accelerates 3D multiphysics fusion magnet simulations with Quanscient Allsolve

UKAEA, a leading research organization developing fusion energy, faced significant challenges in simulating high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets for their fusion plant. Their team was hindered by limited computing power on local workstations, inefficient single-user software licenses, and a lack of specialized tools for complex 3D multiphysics simulations. To overcome these obstacles, they turned to Quanscient and its Allsolve simulation software.

Quanscient implemented its cloud-based Allsolve platform, which provided UKAEA with access to massive computational resources and a flexible licensing model for team collaboration. Key to the solution was Allsolve's H-phi formulation, which simplified model setup and provided direct access to critical data like total voltage. This enabled UKAEA to rapidly iterate on and optimize the design of massive toroidal field coils, significantly enhancing simulation efficiency and accuracy to ensure safe operation under various scenarios.
