Description
In GitLab by @stuartmuldrew on Mar 24, 2022, 13:29
For steady-state machines there is no inductive current at flat-top and therefore in the current implementation of PROCESS there is no sizing constraint for the central solenoid. In a previous merge it has been enabled for a solenoid to be included for start-up, but only as a space claim in the radial build.
An update should be made so that in a non-inductive case, the solenoid size can be specified as input and PROCESS calculates the maximum amount of flux this can generate.
A general review of how the solenoid is considered with the PF coils should also be considered that may resolve #1494
